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.

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.

Throughout my time at Del Oro I've enjoyed my teachers and the overall culture and feel on the campus. All the administrators are friendly and I can go to them anytime I need!

My experience at Del Oro High School has been great from the get go, with very welcoming staff, good friends, and lots of fun. Del Oro is a very spirited school with spirit wars going on throughout the year and homecoming being the highlight of the spirit wars. Overall Del Oro is put in high regards as the community that has been created over many years to support students, families, and staff.

The best part about Del Oro is the teachers. The teachers truly try their best for every student (minus a couple) and put their heart and soul into teaching. They care a lot about the students no matter their background and almost become like a second family if you connect with them. The problem wit...

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...
