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.

This school truly did not prepare me for college. Teachers made it difficult to enjoy the subject that they were teaching. I didn't care for high school because of the environment that I was in. And some of the instructors and administrators were rude and unapproachable.

I like the school campus of De Anza and the people and teachers (only some) that you can meet there. Thats about it. I hope they unlock more bathrooms though for the next year.

My experience at De Anza High School was excellent. I had moved from a different state, and I really liked the new environment. I made many friends in this school and we would always watch football games together. The changes I would like to see in this school are the bathrooms because the bathrooms are always dirty and the doors are broken. My overall experience was pretty good in this high school and if I could go back in time I would love to go to De Anza High School again.

My experience at this school has been somewhat short of a nightmare. The only redeeming qualities are the few teachers that genuinely care about your well-being and the friends that won’t stab you in the back.
