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 love the fact that it is a small school and the class sizes are not over crowded. The teachers are very involved with the students and activities. I feel that my daughter is well prepared for college. The athletic department is excellent and competitive and supportive of the athletes. Depew has a small town school feel.

Due to COVID it has been a challenge to communicate with the school. I am enrolled through a local community college to get the rest of the credits needed for my graduation. The staff have been extremely kind to help work with my transcript that was transferred from the town over when I moved. It is my goal to graduate a year early and apply myself into a 4year college in NY.

This high school gives great opportunities for students to grow. The teachers are very helpful and not only prepare students for college academically, but also teach life skills and help build successful character. The teachers strive to help each student find success within themselves. The opportunities to excel at Depew High school are abundant.
