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.

my school is a small school, everyone knows each other and a lot of my friends parents went to the same school as my parents. A lot of the teachers are past graduates. My school allows for everyone to play more then 1 sport and we have a lot of diversity in students. my education experience at deer river high school is just as good if not better then most. we excel in our reading program and our math/science programs are also very , very good.
