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.

A majority of the teachers who work here really enjoy their jobs and show it in the way they teach students. They make learning a fun, inclusive experience, and I enjoyed attending this school.

My experience at Delta High School was amazing. Although it went by fast, I have made a huge impact on my school and community by being involved with all the sports and clubs they offer. The classes are also a great environment to be in and the teachers are easy going and have formed great relationships with me. I would like to see more people (especially freshmen) to feel more connected at Delta High School.
