DPMHS Ranked As One of America's Best High Schools
U.S. News and World Report has ranked our school as one of the country's best high schools for our performance in the 2009-10 academic year. We are 746th out of 21,776 evaluated schools, which puts us in the top 3.5% nationwide. We ranked 139th out of 1,746 evaluated schools in the state of California.
The 2009-10 academic year was our first as a stand-alone high school, and we didn't yet have our own campus. Our API that year was 777.
We were great then, and we're only getting better.
Go sharks!
