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.

DePue School isn't just a high school: it's Pre-K through 12th grade. I believe that's one of DePue's downfalls. The high school students aren't given as much attention since there's so many grades in one building. I rode the bus with high school students when I was in elementary. I was bullied by the older students and heard so many inappropriate things that made me uncomfortable. That's just one example of why elementary, junior high, and high school should be separate.

Depue is very small, so everyone knows you and teachers get to know you well. The average class size is about 15. The high school does not offer much, it just offers some online classes. Clubs and organizations are not really a thing here, they do not seem to matter much. Also sports are not a big deal here other than some boy sports.

I like that everyone knows who everyone else. It's a school that has a lot of spirit, and tries to bigger than what it is. The school also offers college classes for Juniors and Seniors, which is pretty neat to have.

Communication from the top down is limited, & is more policy/discipline driven when it does occur. Solutions are rarely preemptive, & more a response; it's no secret the school is understaffe...
