My son is about to graduate and loved the flexibility and acceptance the school shows to every student and the smaller class sizes.

I wouldn't hesitate to give Delta 5 stars! Our son attended a larger school in Aptos, which has been a great school for many kids but not so good for our son. He was floating around and felt invisible. It wasn't easy to pull him from one school and put him in another but within a week we could rest assured that we had made the right choice.
From the outside, the school doesn't look like much but on the inside..... There is nurturing of individuals. There is a common respect for one another. There is insight into each teens struggles and gifts. People here at Delta know who you are. You WILL NOT be invisible. Our son is graduating from Delta Charter High School. We are proud and grateful. Not all kids learn the same way. This is not a school for "misfits". It's a small school that guides and nurtures teens and appreciates their unique way of learning.
