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.

My experience at Del Oro high has been a normal high school experience. Football games against other schools was the peak of my experience there.

Del Oro High is a traditional high school that is all about spirit and sports, but i can lack in resources. My parents have gotten little to no information on graduation this year; almost all the info they got is from me. Some of the staff members are uninterested in teaching while others are so passionate. I believe they do their best with what they got, but a lot of money and funding goes towards sports (specifically football). when we have even better sports the money can go towards or even actual educational tools for the students.I love going to this school because of the spirit and tradition, but I wish they were more helpful on the college readiness and funding aspect.

I recently graduated as a part of the class of 2022. The first year was good and I felt like I was cared for and wanted, which is what I needed. However, on the outside, things were different. Someone had a violent drug trip and we had to go into a lockdown once which served as an omen for how many...

I will always recommend this school, but the administration needs to address the serious drug problems currently going on throughout the district. The rise of these problems began late into my junior year, and by senior year kids wouldn't even get a slap on the wrist. I graduated in 2020, but since...
