How safe is the school, really?
Based on the school’s safety pages and news reports, Deerfield describes a staffed safety operation today and has a documented history involving former teachers. It lists a 24/7 help line, security officers on duty around the clock, an independently staffed whistleblower hotline open 24 hours and a policy that all employees are mandated reporters; a report the school released in 2013 found that two former teachers engaged in sexual conduct with students, and the Greenfield Recorder reported in June 2025 that it had reached a further settlement with a person who alleged abuse by a former teacher, and had settled other claims in 2023, one involving a member of its athletics staff who was fired after an investigation by the academy.
| Source | What it shows | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Safety and security page (the school) | A 24/7 Help Line, 413-772-9880; Christopher MacDougall as Director of Safety & Security; security officers described as on the job 24/7 | Page undated |
| Sexual misconduct response page (the school) | “The Academy maintains a toll-free, independently staffed whistleblower hotline, available 24 hours a day.” “All calls to the hotline are confidential.” “All Deerfield Academy employees are mandated reporters”; a School Officer and the health center are also listed | Page undated |
| American School & University | The school’s report found that a mathematics teacher who taught from 1956 to 2000 “engaged in sexual conduct with at least one student” and an English teacher who taught until 1990 “engaged in sexual conduct with two students”; prosecutors planned to investigate | Apr. 1, 2013 |
| Greenfield Recorder | A “low six-figure settlement” with another person who alleged abuse by a former teacher; the paper also reports earlier settlements, including a 2023 claim involving a member of the athletics department who worked at the school for more than 40 years and was fired after an investigation by the academy; the school’s director of communications confirmed the settlement and reaffirmed the school’s commitment to protecting students | June 3, 2025 |
We found no incident counts, discipline data or published annual safety report, so safety cannot be set against other schools on figures. The 2013 report concerns teachers whose service, as reported, ended in 2000 and 1990; the 2025 article reports settlements as recent as 2023 and 2025, one of them involving a staff member who was fired after an investigation, so the reported history does not end with the earlier decades. A family should ask how a student reports a worry today, who is told, and how the school’s safeguards are overseen.
What's the true total cost, including fees — and how has it moved over the last few years?
Deerfield lists 2026–27 charges of $79,940 for boarding students and $57,850 for day students, and says laptop, textbooks and health center services are included in tuition. The Greenfield Recorder reported $74,440 and $53,860 for 2024–25, which puts the two-year rise at $5,500, or about 7.4%, for boarding and $3,990, or about 7.4%, for day students by our sums.
| School year | Boarding | Day |
|---|---|---|
| 2024–25, Greenfield Recorder | $74,440 | $53,860 |
| 2025–26, Greenfield Recorder | $77,420 (tuition and fees) | $56,020 (the Recorder’s $21,400 gap, our subtraction) |
| 2026–27, school financial-aid page | $79,940 | $57,850 |
The school’s page lists these as the “Boarding” and “Day” charges for 2026–27 and gives an application fee of $60 ($125 for international applicants) and a $65 financial aid application fee through Clarity. Its FAQ says tuition includes room and board, textbooks, use of a MacBook Air and use of the health center. We found no itemised list of other costs such as travel, trips or personal spending. The Recorder reported in July 2026 that Deerfield is no longer admitting day students and will be a full boarding school for students joining in fall 2027 and later, so a day charge will apply only to students already enrolled as day students. A family should ask the Admission Office for what is not included and for the planned 2027–28 charge.
How qualified and stable are the teachers?
Based on the school’s About page, 70% of Deerfield faculty members hold advanced degrees and have expertise in more than one discipline, and 91% of the faculty live on campus; the school’s profile gives an average class size of 12. Stability is not measured: we found no turnover or tenure figure.
| Measure | What is published | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced degrees | 70% of faculty members | School About page; Boarding School Review gives the same 70% |
| Faculty living on campus | 91% | School About page |
| Average class size | 12 | School profile; Boarding School Review |
| Student–teacher ratio | 4:1; the school profile gives none | Boarding School Review |
The 70% figure covers the whole faculty and does not say how many hold a doctorate or teach science or computer science. The 4:1 ratio is an outside figure that we could not match to a school statement. A family should ask for average tenure, the number of teachers who left last year and the qualifications of the computer science and science teachers.
Are scholarships or financial aid available, and what share of students receive them?
Yes. Deerfield says 38% of all current families receive financial aid, the average boarding grant is $68,235, and 35% of its financial aid recipients pay nothing. Under its Financial Aid Initiative, domestic families making up to $150,000 pay $0.
| Source | Figure | Note |
|---|---|---|
| School financial-aid page, 2026–27 | 38% of all current families | Average boarding grant $68,235; 35% of recipients pay nothing |
| School Deerfield Fund page | “for 40% of our students” | A share of students; the aid page counts families |
| Greenfield Recorder, Sept. 17, 2024 | $15.9 million | Fiscal year 2026 financial aid budget, a 6% increase |
The two school pages count different things, 38% of families and 40% of students, and neither says which year the 40% describes. The aid page gives no average grant for day students and no total aid figure; the $15.9 million is the Recorder’s report of the budget. The Recorder also reported that families above $150,000 pay no more than 10% of verified income. For new applicants the page lists January 15, 2027 for all applications, March 10, 2027 for decisions and April 10, 2027 for accepting a grant. An individual family’s award depends on its own finances, so a family should ask the Admission Office for an estimate.
How strong is this school in AI, data science and computer science compared with other schools?
Based on our review, Deerfield grades 4.0/5 in computer science and 2.0/5 in AI & data science. It teaches five computer science courses, from Intro to Computer Science to Data Structures & Algorithms and Digital Logic & Computer Architecture, with a Data Science Sr. Capstone and AP Statistics in mathematics; we found no AI or machine-learning course.
| Strand | What is published | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Computer science courses | Intro to Computer Science, Game Design and Programming, Honors Computer Science, Data Structures & Algorithms, Dig Logic & Comp Architecture | Science and computer science course list |
| Mathematics and data | AP Statistics, Data Science Sr. Capstone, Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations | Mathematics page |
| Club | The Computer Science Club says its “themes span from Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analysis, Data Structures and Algorithms, and much more.” It welcomes members from basic algorithms up to “ACSL and USACO competition preparation” | Clubs page |
| AI use | The student handbook, as the Scroll quoted it in October 2024, says “Students are prohibited from using AI-generative tools for student work (including AI editing services)” unless a teacher directs their use | The Deerfield Scroll |
The course list gives a description for one course only, so the content of the computer science courses is read from their titles. We found no computer science competition result, industry credential or AP computer science course (the Computer Science Club names ACSL and USACO competition preparation); the school’s profile says it offers official AP courses only in math and the arts, along with an AP Seminar. A comparison with other schools needs a figure the school does not publish, so this answer is a grade and not a ranking. A family should ask for the computer science course descriptions, enrolment and which teachers lead them.
How strong is it in robotics, engineering and hands-on problem solving?
Based on our review, Deerfield grades 2.0/5 in robotics and 2.0/5 in advanced manufacturing. Robotics is a club with a team of eight students that placed first out of 27 competitors at the Battle of Lexington in February 2025 and was the first from Deerfield to qualify for the FIRST Tech Challenge New England Premier Event, and the science course list includes Electrical, Mechanical, Civil and Electric Vehicle Engineering electives.

| Engineering electives | Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electric Vehicle Engineering, in which students convert a vehicle with an internal combustion engine to run on electrical power | Course list |
| Robotics team | Battle of Lexington, February 15, 2025: first out of 27 competitors, the highest score in the competition’s history and a place at the state championship; coached by a science and math teacher | The Deerfield Scroll, Mar. 22, 2025 |

| Innovation Lab | “The Innovation Lab is a place for art and design, engineering, fabrication, and education”; a vinyl cutter, a laser cutter and a 3D printer in the Koch Center | Innovation Lab page |
The course list gives a description for the Electric Vehicle course only, and lists no robotics course. We found no robotics result after May 2025. The grade stays at 2.0 because the robotics provision is a club and the engineering courses are single electives. A family should ask who coaches the team, how many students take part and how many take each engineering elective.
Do students get access to advanced coursework, specialist electives and serious competitions?
Based on the school’s course lists, yes for coursework and electives, less so for competitions. Deerfield lists AP Calculus AB and BC, AP Statistics, Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations, Honors Physics 2 (calculus-based), Quantum Physics, and Honors Biology 2, Honors Chemistry 2 and Honors Environmental Science 2, each a research course; its robotics team qualified for the state championship in 2025.

| Specialist electives | Electric Vehicle Engineering, Electrical, Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Immunology and Disease, Data Structures & Algorithms, Digital Logic & Computer Architecture, and the three research courses | Course list |
| AP exams | “In the 2024–25 school year, 317 students sat for 718 AP exams.” “95% of AP exams earned scores of 3 or higher” (whole school); official AP courses only in math and the arts, along with an AP Seminar | School profile |
| Competitions | A student op-ed says the Science Department “has stopped sponsoring olympiad science”, with the exception of the American Mathematics Competition and the Physics Olympiad (F=MA) | The Deerfield Scroll, May 2026 |
We found no AP results by subject, and the profile counts the whole school; the school offers official AP courses only in math and the arts and an AP Seminar, so the totals do not show science or computer science results. The op-ed is a student’s opinion; it also says that, to the writer’s knowledge, four students in total have qualified over the past five years for the USA Math Olympiad or the semifinal rounds of the USA Chemistry or Biology Olympiads. The robotics team’s 2025 results are the one serious competition record found. A family should ask which competitions the school sponsors this year and how many students take the research courses.
Which future-critical STEM fields is this school genuinely strong in—and which ones are major gaps?
Based on our review, Deerfield is strongest in computer science (4.0/5, Excellent) and developing in Earth systems and biotechnology (3.0/5). The other seven fields are weak: AI & data science, robotics, clean energy, advanced manufacturing and battery storage are thin (2.0/5), aerospace is lacking (1.0/5) and cybersecurity is absent (0.0/5).
| Field | Score | Standing |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science & Computational Thinking | 4.0/5 | Excellent |
| Earth Systems & Geospatial | 3.0/5 | Developing |
| Biotechnology & Synthetic Biology | 3.0/5 | Developing |
| AI & Data Science | 2.0/5 | Weak |
| Robotics & Autonomous Systems | 2.0/5 | Weak |
| Clean Energy & Climate Technology | 2.0/5 | Weak |
| Advanced Manufacturing | 2.0/5 | Weak |
| Batteries & Energy Storage | 2.0/5 | Weak |
| Aerospace & Space Technology | 1.0/5 | Weak |
| Cybersecurity & Digital Safety | 0.0/5 | Weak |
Will your child be ready for jobs that don’t exist yet?
Here’s what the evidence actually shows for Deerfield Academy — not what the brochure claims.
52/100 — Developing overall. Deerfield’s computer science is its furthest developed field: students move from Intro to Computer Science and Game Design and Programming through Honors Computer Science to Data Structures & Algorithms and Digital Logic & Computer Architecture, led by a Director of ITS and the Computer Science Program, beside a mathematics sequence that runs through AP Calculus BC, Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations with a Data Science Senior Capstone, honors research courses in biology and chemistry, and a robotics team that placed first at the Battle of Lexington in February 2025 and was the first from Deerfield to qualify for the FIRST Tech Challenge New England Premier Event.
But: cybersecurity is absent, aerospace is lacking, and AI is thin.

No student work was found evidencing these. For a school this well documented, an unrecorded programme is unlikely to be a large one.
What a family should ask about directly
- Cybersecurity is absent, aerospace is lacking and AI is thin: ask what a student can study or build in each. A Scroll feature headed “Beyond the Syllabus: AI-integrated courses and their goals” points to courses that use AI, so ask which run now and under what rules, given the handbook policy the Scroll quoted in October 2024.
- Robotics is a club, and the team results we found come from two events in 2025. Ask who coaches it, how students join, how many take part and whether a robotics course is planned.
- The school offers official AP courses only in math and the arts, along with an AP Seminar, and says students may sit an AP exam without the course (school profile). Ask how a student who wants a science or computer science AP exam prepares for it.
- A May 2026 student op-ed in the Scroll reports that 28 terms of humanities classes are required to graduate and 15 terms of math and science, and that the Science Department has stopped sponsoring olympiad science (The Deerfield STEM Deficit). Ask which science competitions and research opportunities run this year.
- The science and computer science course list gives titles, with a description for one course only. Ask for the current course catalog and which research, engineering and computer science courses run this year.
- Safety history belongs in a family’s questions. The school published a report in 2013 on abuse of students by former faculty members, and further settlements, in 2023 and 2025, were reported in June 2025 (American School & University; Greenfield Recorder). Ask how reports are made and handled today and who a student can go to.
