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.

Dekalb has amazing opportunities for all student interests from the arts to agriculture. The school has provided me with an amazing four-year experience and allowed me to pursue my fair share of interests. Especially in agriculture with classes ranging from animal science to vet science.

I like the sports here at DeKalb. I play football and do track. My senior year football has been great and tracks I usually do good. My grades are really good as well. I have a 3.8 GPA out of 4. Overall I've only had 1 C in all of my high school.

If you're wanting an unfriendly, unwelcome atmosphere where the students are judge mental & bully each other & the teachers are biased toward the students & can't update grades online in a timely manner. The staff is there to harass kids rather than help anyone for the most part - then gladly send y...
