6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDA is a fine school. It is not outstanding. There are caring teachers, and more than a few who might be happier in different day jobs. They don't solicit or encourage outside help from parents, and don't have a PTA.Parent Review15y ago - Delaware Academy High School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son had a wonderful eductation at D.A. From kindergarten to graduation, most every teacher supported his learning and social/emotional growth. They are knowledgeable in their craft, and make learning engaging for students. Administration was supportive as well for the most part. I could not be happier with his education!Parent Review5mo ago
