Robert Down is an excellent school. The children in my son’s class are kind, considerate and love to learn. The teachers have been amazing and supportive. Having gone to private school in the area, this public school is the closest you will get to private school. My child is excelling in every way.
Posted by a parent on 8/31/2025So happy we left the charter school we were at in Monterey to have my son attend school here. He was really behind in reading. They helped him get caught up by offering a lot of support and extra help before, during and after school. We are grateful.
Posted by a parent on 7/3/2025If you can imagine being a person who uses an assisted device, such as a wheel chair, needing equal access to this campus. Upon arriving at the main entrance, the only way through is to climb two flights of stairs. Now imagine being a person who will utilize the stairs. So you climb the stairs, and
Posted by a community member on 10/10/2024A traumatizing experience for our child, who had previously loved school before attending here. In my opinion, Robert Down is not up to date on best practices for learning differences and special needs. There was no bullying from students, however -- they were kind and welcoming.
Posted by a parent on 5/26/2024All three of my children have thrived here. The teachers and staff have all been excellent.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am very happy we chose Stevenson School for our child. It was a wonderful experience for him. He was able to learn what he needed to excel during high school without the unnecessary pressures and stress. He has made a lot of good friends whom he will stay friends with forever. It's easy to find a school where your child will get a good education, however it's not so easy to find a school where your child will get a good education AND a happy childhood. Stevenson provided both for our son. Next year, our son will be attending a top university, and we think Stevenson has prepared him well to move on to the next chapter of his life.Parent Review6y ago - Pacific Oaks Children's School
