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.

DeQuincy High did not have much to offer, especially after the hurricanes. Once those hit, we lost our gyms and our buildings. We were forced into pods that leaked when it rained and were covered in mold. The only good thing I have to say about the school was the teachers, who tried their best in this horrible situation.

the school just sucks overall. the staff says that if you have any issues to talk to them but i was bullied for the short time i was there and whenever i reported any issues nothing was done about it. i have recently went homeschooled because of the way the staff allows others to be treated and all of the staff is stuck up. they favorite certain student and family members so they don't get into trouble. i've went to dequincy schools since kindergarten but my months into my freshman year was just too much to stay there. it would've been better if i knew there was someone there to help with the issue i had but nothing was done to the problems i recorded.

DeQuincy is a loving school for students to attend. While it is a small school you may not get all the academic options you could get at a big school but they do try their best. I am thriving at college because I took DeQuincy seriously. You just have to apply yourself
