I graduated from Deerfield High School in 2023, and enjoyed my time there immensely. As a member of the Arts program, Sports teams, and numerous clubs, I can confidently say that there's a group or a niche for everyone. I had good relationships with multiple members of the staff, who were all very supportive. I felt more prepared for my college courses then most of my peers in college.

Studying at Deerfield High school has been an extremely rewarding and great place to go to high school. Deerfield values academics above all and prepares students for college. The best moment in my high school career is making lifelong friends in my numerous classes, while the worst would be the bullying encountered at DHS. I would really love to see more anti-bullying procedures be applied to DHS as I think this is one of the biggest issues in this school.

It's a really tight-knit school with a lot of cool teachers and classes. I had a lot of experiences here I doubt I would anywhere else, mainly because of my amazing teachers.

While Deerfield HS may offer a good textbook kind of education, they are also great at villainizing and othering students who do not belong to certain groups. My children were the only Palestinian American students and they were not heard or seen and if they had any concerns, they were given PC answ...

My daughter has very special needs, and is developmentally 3-4 months of age. DHS, in all its wisdom, feels that it is appropriate to move my daughter from a special needs school that she has attended for 11 years (with an entire building of superior teachers and staff, as well as in-house therapist...

All three of my children attended DHS. While each of them was quite different in learning style and personality, each was provided a solid intellectual and social foundation for higher education and personal developmental goals.
