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.

Del Mar has improved a lot over the years, while from the outside it may look like a below average school the teachers and students are great. Truly has character that many school lack. But needs to work on the food.

The education isn't that great, most of the people there aren't lovely, and the staff is subpar. There are so many things that need improvement in this school that I would go over the character limit. Honestly, it could be much worse, but it could also be so much better.

Best school in the area. Students have the ability to excel and start on college courses for their senior year. If your child likes to be challenged and have opportunities for personal growth then this is for you. Many parents try to get their children into this High School from the surrounding area...
