Cape henlopen high school is a great school, this school has good academics, teachers etc my experience at this has been wonderful and I've been to a few school during my time going to school. In Delaware there not a lot of great academic but cape is very good in academics. Cape always places one of the top school in the state when it comes with sat scores. But me personally I definitely want to say that I've enjoyed high school experience.

Stop dress coding people and let us cape Students express ourselves and not get dress coded for something that is not inappropriate towards us and let us express ourselves more often

The curriculum is good and the school well built but doesn't enforce the dress code and allows students to bend the rules, the staff tries to enforce but the enforcers in the school fail to do so
