    The teachers at Delano are serious and laid back at the same time. They are serious about your education and willing to joke around and form a friendship. The athletic department is well run, the students are hard workers in academics and athletics. But students tend to form tight friend groups and not stray from the "pack."

    Delano has very dedicated teachers and faculty. As well, they are nationally ranked for top academic achievements. The extracurriculars offered are standard. The one aspect that Delano Public Schools could be improved on is its diversity.
    I like it, I would change little things though. I would change our diversity level, it is very poor. I would also change our college readiness. They do prepare us for College, but I feel like it's not enough.
