DHMS is by far a great school! There is so much to offer these young kids and the teachers are magnificant. I have children in DH now and I just cannot say enough good things about this school, the teachers and the principal, Mr. Manfre. They don't put up with the nonsense that Beverly Hills puts up with, nor do they have to as long as they keep the riff raff out of DH. - keep the bad ones over at Beverly Hills. Drexel Hill is still a good school and my children and I are very proud of our middle school! Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
