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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

The best part of Delcastle was the feeling of being apart of a community. I had the strongest support team that made sure I was doing my best every part of the way throughout my four years. The worst part of Delcastle I would say was that there weren't any elective classes to take such as art and music. I think it would be great if there were electives given at Delcastle.

Delcastle is a very average school, but it certainly needs more extracurriculars. Like, we would have better school spirit if we had a real marching band or any type of musical classes. We also need regular art classes. Life isn't just about getting jobs and making money.

I am a fourth generation student at Delcastle Votech and after following in my family's footsteps, I will graduate this year with a solid foundation towards my new college career in Architecture. My Tech Drafting classes and overall high school experience has provided me with the tools and trainings I need to further excel in this industry while earning a successful income along the way.
