I went to Delano Public Schools from fourth until I graduated in 2022. Over the years there were a lot of changes to the actual building of the school, but not much to the schools themselves. A very clicky community that carries over into the school very harshly. Teachers are all super nice and helpful and so is most of the staff although I think they should be having higher wages instead of cutting them to help "improve" the school. Athletics are a huge part of the school, but again a very clicky atmosphere within all sports, and lots of coaches play students off of that clickiness as well which is disappointing, but I understand it happens. I did enjoy my time there very much everyone is accommodating to helping students of all learning capabilities and teachers truly value every student's education.
We've lost too many good teachers, from the high school in particular, to surrounding districts. Through the culture wars and fragmented parent groups, the district has yet to take any concrete steps to identify who they are through proactive statements, task forces/work groups, supporting policies, etc. This has worn on the community and overshadowed the good things happening there.
My school district is amazing. It allows the students to be themselves and learn and grow. The district is amazing at creating inclusivity and letting students join activities that they want to do and help them all excel at each.
The academics in my district is even better, we have some of the best teachers in the state, and our test scores prove it. The students are all incredibly intelligent and everyone puts effort into their education.
Our athletics program is amazing as well. Each year, we have at least one sports team attend a state tournament, and have one multiple in the past few years.
Although the pandemic has put a damper on this all, our schools are all doing the best they can to help each student excel through these trying times.
