I am right now in 8th grade, and i must say it was a lot of fun and stuff you usually make your best friends or your friend circle for high school when you're around 7th grade. Other than that it is an average school with above acamdic standards. The classrooms are huge, the teachers are well decent but some of them are sexist and leans towards the girl's side of the school lets girls get more fun in the school, the only thing that hurts is that if you go to this school you will lose half your friends in 9th grade because half of them go to the dowwingtown STEM acamdy. The kids are very clingy and expect it to be a normal school like there is some bullying but like it is very rare, there are jocks, nerds, cheerleaders, there are lunchrrom politcs there are kids who try to act cool or wannabes. The school is very fun and the classrooms are very big and i believe that they teach you very well but some of the popular kids vape in this school so i would steer my head away from them and our school has had our fair share of fights to in the last two years and i have been impressed how they dealt with it they suspend the students and email the parents standard protcool and i'm also impressed how our school takes that as a big issue and so how do the parents and the HSA. The only thing bad is that the teachers won't inform as much to parents like elementrary school so you have to look and keep your eyes peeled for clubs or other fun stuff because they don't tell it in a big loudspeaker. You can make a lot of friends, the school is very neat, and though there are school beef and school politics between wannabes and the cool kids i would recommend keep away and just be yourself because the school and your friends will reward you if you do.

As a graduate of the last graduation class with a senior ring that has DHS on it instead of DEHS or DWHS, they do an excellent job preparing their students for college. In my freshman English class at PSU my professor will highly satisfied with my writing skills as well as research skills to write an excellent paper again and again with little or no guidance. Downingtown has great teachers and a wide variety of classes to pick from. Not sure if they still offer unique English alternative classes but War and Peace Conflict English was by far the most engaging English class I have ever taken. It made me interested in writing and the teacher was so enthusiast it truly made learning fun. Not sure if he is still teaching but Mr. Appel with the best!!

I am not sure why the school is only scoring a "5". It has long had the reputation of one of the very best elementary schools the area.The principal is great as are most of the teachers. It is an active and involved partnership of parents and staff.Perhaps since the school has been under construction for some time the progression scores were not meaningful. There's a lovely new building now. So...

my child comes home every day screaming crying that he gets bullied by a kid. Well I lost it when my kid came home with a bloody nose, i asked him what happened and he said that the kid punched him in the face, and none of the teachers yelled at the kid. The next day i went in the school and talked to Mr. Barr and he said that he could do nothing about it. i called the cops and now my kid has more bullies.
