School Reviews
5 4/6/2019
Delmar has always been a great school. It was over 40 years ago when I was a student there and still is today. My grandson is currently a student there. He is not only excelling in his classes, he''s learning respect and responsibility. Although learning respect and responsibility starts at home, it''s good to know the staff at Delmar carries through at school as well.
