"This school is very high quality. The writing program is especially rigorous and fantastic! We moved from another district in Chester County that is supposed to be the "best", but West has proven to be far superior in every way. Colleges are impressed when they see that our children go to DWHS, and they have said in interviews that they "always look at D-West kids"! Parents are so active that maybe guidance counselors don't need to be so focused on hands-on college promotion, but I know that these kids could be going to the very best schools, and would love to see Guidance promoting them more vigorously. My experience is that the coaches are more invested in their athletes getting into the right colleges than are the guidance counselors. Overall, this is a really top-notch school!"

"My two daughters graduated in 2005 & 2006. They were very successful students (Honors, AP GPA's of 4.25 & 3.8 etc..) They were both good students on their own, but I believe the Faculty & Administration at DWHS was a great factor in their success. I found them to be supportive & caring. Students were treated with resprct, but who also expected to be respectful. The Musci, Arts & English Departments were the best. I think the language department could use a little improvement."

"There are high standards. The students have to work at it, but if they ask for help when its needed, they will do absoultly fine. The school proggrams are excellent from swimming to band to special needs."
