GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I grew up in this small town, and have only ever gone to De Kalb. I grew up with these teenagers who are getting ready to step off into this new chapter of their lives, college, including myself. De Kalb High School was quite literally my entire life, hands down probably one of the best schools ever. Everyone is so close to each other, it feels like home.

It's is a good school with a good community. Classes aren't too big but not too small (around 12 - 25)
