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 time at DECA has been valued. My experience was overall good . Academically, the teachers and staff push you to excell. For extracurricular activities, there are many clubs to join and even an opportunity to create your own club or initiative. In my opinion, it's a good school.

Overall, I love my school mainly because it's an Early College Academy so I am able to graduate with my High school Diploma and Associate degree. The teachers at my school are very supportive and dedicated.

I have enjoyed my time at Dekalb Early College Academy. Although I did not obtain the full high school experience, through sports and schools' spirit, I was rewarded with kind and helpful teachers who would like to see you succeed. The small number of students in each class ensured that each student was able to ask questions during lecture periods, so all students can have full understanding of the day's lesson.
