I graduated deptford after going to 3 other schools and can say deptford was overall good school experience, friendly, fun events and classes. Highly recommend

Horrific bullying issues — The bullying is so bad that it interferes with education as it isn’t just name calling but constant physical bullying. The school stated that they have no tolerance for bullying however, when bullying occurs it is just the same slap on the hand over and over. They do not try to resolve the core issue and hand out in-school suspensions like candy. If your child defends their self after being taunted day in and day out, they will also be in trouble. If your child does not defend themself and tells an adult, it just continues because the school doesn’t care. I am beyond disappointed with this school district. It would be nice if they worried about mental health the same way they do about football.

It has been excellent so far. Ms. Houten & Ms. Wood (my daughters preschool teachers) and Ms. Seixas (my other daughter’s kindergarten teacher) are so kind, caring, and effective teachers that appear to lead with the knowledge and emotional intelligence you’d want in teachers, especially at these early stages of a student’s academic career. From the principal to the nurse to the office administrator — they are all very kind and very efficient. Top project managers in their fields may even learn a thing or two after seeing them in action during loading the kids into busses afterschool while making her kids are matched with the right pick-up parent! We are still relatively new to the area, and the state, really, and my kids love the school and their experience thus far, and as a mother of four children, I couldn’t be happier.
