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.

It was a wonderful school. I've gone to Depew my whole school life and I wouldn't trade anything for anything else. This school was my home and I will never forget the memories I made there. Truly is an amazing school with amazing teachers.
