Delaware Valley Regional High School

I graduated in 1984. My 4 years haves at Del Val built a great foundation to enter college and start my future. I am glad I had a chance to do my 4 years in high school at Delaware Valley Regional High School. I would expect Del Val has kept it's great academic statis in NJ. I graduated with 2 students that later graduated from MIT Best Regards, Craig C. Snyder

The principal is far too young and overcompensates by being a control freak. There are rumors about his personal life, be they true or not the kids do not respect him because of it. Failure to pass school budgets leaves the facility in deteriorating condition. It's tough to travel to other schools and see lavish facilities and then try to explain why your kids team doesn't even get a locker room. The Super is overpaid, and lacks any role in the community. Teachers seem to feel persecuted and teach like it. There are worse schools out there I'm sure, but you get the feeling DV could do better.

I think Del Val is a good academic school (above average), but it is far to regimented. There is insufficient time between classes to go from class to class. There is insufficient time for the students to eat lunch. No time to manage issues that will always arise. Because of this, it falls upon the parents to manage most issues outside the classroom. How can you teach your child to take responsibility when they have no time to interface with the school when a problem arises? The impression I have is the administration is afraid that if they give the students any degree of freedom, they will lose control. They forget they are educating young adults who need to learn these skills prior to college.
