I did not care for this school for my daughter. It's the luck of the draw as to which teacher your child gets; only some are effective at providing homework and instruction. If your child's teacher is fully engaged, (s)he will have a rewarding learning experience but it's way on the other end of the spectrum if the teacher is disenchanted. Very little learning will happen and your child will not be prepared for continued courses (e.g. II, III, and AP courses) and will fall behind. Try to get your child into the Media Production Magnet, because you'll see the most rewarding learning experience there. Stay in constant communication with your child's teacher(s), or your child will be academically disadvantaged. Also, they have SAT/ACT prep here, but it would behoove you to enroll them in an ACT/SAT Prep course if you want your child to do well. Finally, this school will do nothing as far addressing harassment issues so just pray your kid doesn't find themselves being harassed in any capacity (behavioral, yes; se*ual harassment, not so much).

Most of the teachers here don’t teach they just sit down all day on the desk and do nothing

Stress Stress Stress.. I don't learn nothing at this school, and even if it was a free day as if the school doesn't have any work for the day, I would still be depressed about coming here.

The best school I have been in my life

So far, I've had 5 kids in this school. All with different needs and this school has served them well. In fact, of my older kids, one has gotten her Masters Degree with honors, another attended an Ivy League School and has an offer from Harvard to attend law school, the other will be graduating with honors from PBSC. We have 2 in high school and another going next year. Our experience is more than good, it's great!

First year here .. not so sure what to think. Teachers seem to care much more then they have in Lyons creek middle. My daughter is extremely happy. Many aftercare activities.. Football is a bit overwhelming the spirit of the school. I know many kids, parents love it, but ...

Great experiences, please send your children to this school. My experiences with DBHS were nothing but great. I wish that my high school years had never ended!

This school has been giving me nothing but problems. I hate this school! They claim to be "supportive" but the guidance counselor is never in his office and TEACHERS NEVER REPLY TO YOUR EMAILS. WORST SCHOOL... Don't send your child here. I am an active student here and I am very disappointed in this school. I repeatedly have to call the superintendent for help. EEWWWWW

This school is terrible! I had two kids attend school here for their freshman year, they both had to be homeschooled their Sophmore year & luckily we have moved away from that district for their Junior. Terrible teachers (except the cross country coach he's amazing and cares. My daughter got bullied from the Cheer squad for being the only "white girl" which was awful because she's an amazing gymnast and loved cheer prior to that. Admin was horrible too always whining in the office. I don't recommend this school to anyone!

My eldest son attends this Deerfield Beach High School....unfortunately. He went into this school gifted and essentially labeled as brilliant, now his weighted GPA is <1.0. Granted he chose to be a "normal" kid his freshman year (meaning he did not want to participate in the IB program). I hear nothing but horror stories about this school!!! The teachers and staff are lacking to say the least. The level of academic motivation is extremely minimal and it seems to me the teachers do not care. I refused to make the same mistake twice and I placed my next son into a different school. It will be worth driving him daily just knowing he will not be in this school.
