Brand new facility, Academics are pretty good, clubs and activities really get you involved, the culture over all is pretty good, sports are a huge focus at DeKalb High school each sports team is pretty good and they have good coaches, DeKalb is also very diverse, Id say DeKalb gets your ready for college but sometimes they are too easy on you, there is a large variety of food to choose from at lunch, the food could be a little better but over its pretty good, over all I really liked DeKalb and I would recommend it to any students looking for a highschool.

It's pretty great! Just a normal high school. Although I wish we could be recruited better because we have a lot of talented athletes.
In the DeKalb community unit school district No. 428, all the teachers throughout my schooling really cared about if I understood what they were teaching. I think the district itself makes uneducated choices, like not spending the district money on the right tools for excellence. All in all District No. 428 is decent.
