Deerfield High School Reviews
Rating 3.88 out of 5 314 reviews
One of my greatest high school experiences was being a member of the varsity basketball team. From the start, I was impressed by the level of talent and dedication of my teammates. We all shared a passion for basketball and a desire to succeed, and we worked hard to improve our skills and prepare for games. Our coaches were also a vital part of our team, pushing us to be our best and encouraging us never to give up.
As the season progressed, we faced a variety of challenges, from tough opponents to injuries and setbacks. But through it all, we remained united and supported each other. Whether we were winning or losing, we always gave our all and tried our hardest.
Overall, being a varsity basketball team member was a truly rewarding and memorable experience. It allowed me to make lasting friendships, push myself to be my best, and represent my school with pride. I will always look back on winning Conference but will never forget my time on the team with great fondness and gratitude.

This school is great if you want to be involved with teachers and activities. It is not hard to get into a leadership position if the passion exists. Personally I have formed relationships with my teachers where I feel as though I can come to them for anything, even if I am no longer in their class. The teachers at this school are passionate about what they do and the want the students to succeed.
The place where this school fails is with the academic culture. the pressure that is on students to succeed is immense and it can be a huge challenge for students with mental health struggles.
Overall this school has something for everyone, just be weary of the high pressure environment, especially if your child has mental health struggles.

School can be hard to love. You have to get out of bed and get yourself there through one means or another, when you could lay in bed playing video games all day. Nevertheless, this school has been enjoyable. Many of the teachers that I’ve had have been wonderful and have taught me in ways that I understand. As such, I’ve been able to grow and mature and be ready for college. The sports I’ve done have had very supportive coaches and athletes, and there are very few improvements I’d make.
