Deep Creek is a fantastic school despite being under funded and under appreciated. My daughter moved to Deep Creek when the bullying got bad at Great Bridge and no one would do anything about it. It was the best move we could have made. The majority of the teachers seem to truly care about their students. And not just about their learning - they care about how they are doing socially and emotionally. The change in my child has been night and day and while she choose not to go the academy route, she still feel like she’s respected by her teachers and peers. It make me wonder what would happen if Deep Creek was better funded for its everyday students. What greatness would those student achieve also.

Both my children graduated from Deep Creek High school. Both participated in athletics and orchestra as well. One child chose the path through the Science and Medicine Academy ( and loved it!) The other was satisfied with the regular honors/AP curriculum. My eldest is now a graduate of The College of William and Mary. My youngest is a sophomore at The University of Charleston in West Virginia.

Deep Creek has a high number of teachers that are alumni and I think it positively impacts their dedication to the students & the school. Our family has loved every part of Deep Creek high school from the coaches (shout out to the basketball program) to the administrators. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My daughter attended Deep Creek High School as a member of the school's Science and Medicine Academy. I have nothing but great things to say about the school. She had the best teachers and access to the same AP and Duel Enrollment courses that are available in all Chesapeake high schools. She graduated in the top 10 of her class with a 4.86 GPA. Do not let the not so great reviews deter you from passing over this area. If your child is a good student, they will gravitate to the other students with similar interests. She did not have a single bad experience in the 4 years she attended. She graduated in 2021. The teachers are excellent and the director of the Science and Medicine Academy is top notch!

The school is not horrible. The school has some good teachers, but a lot of bad ones. We have sorts of problems, threats, fights , drugs, the school is not the best, I would say be careful when starting.

The school is falling apart, has had multiple bomb threats, the teachers are mid (except for a select few), it takes forever just to get lunches that are also mid, etc. The internet connection is absolutely terrible, and don’t get me started on the amount of things unnecessarily blocked by admin. Overall, 1 star school

It's okay I guess, but severely underfunded. Still beats a lot of other schools in SOL Scores despite having severely less funds. A bit average in sports, a lot of losses, but more wins than most other schools can claim.

Drop Creek High School is a great school! We have 2 kids that graduated from here. Great experience for both! Our 3rd kid is a student currently at Deep Creek. We don’t have any issues with the school and call it a hidden gem. Get involved with the school & you find the teachers & Admin care.

Guidance counselors are awesome. There are a variety of after school clubs. The schools provide tutoring, SOL help. It's also smaller than some of the other Chesapeake high schools. I am hoping my daughter has a positive learning experience here.

This school is great. The faculty and staff are always willing to help with anything. I like how the small size allows all the teachers and students to feel like one large family. Our school's sports teams haven't been the best lately but, our school spirit is still here. I would recommend this school to anybody.

Deep Creek is a good school but we need more funding for repairs and materials. In my math class last year we weren't even issued calculators because the school didn't have enough and this year the calcutlators we were given were falling apart and barely worked. The school is old and severely needs to be remodeled as well; bathrooms that are disgusting with broken toilets and desks that are basically rocking chairs. In addition the school is overcrowded it takes oil most all of my lunch time to even get my food. Overall the teachers are great and I learn a lot every day it's a small community and everyone knows everyone but things NEED to change.
