Downey Elementary School

While this wasn't the school that changed my opinion about BPS, It did came to me that I was not given the type of class that an autistic person like myself should have gotten. Instead, I had to deal with outdated timeout rooms that used to have NO handle on the other side of the door, trying to change who I am instead of thinking of workarounds, making me repeat kindergarten because my brother didn't pass (who hates this school a lot), not changing my perspective of relationships before almost falling in love with my 2nd grade teacher, literally straining my arms behind my back, & dare I say, staff convincing me that I'd eventually get teleportation powers soon instead of telling me the truth. I hope this school changed when I passed 5th grade in 2017.

I would not recommend this school. I was warned but wanted to give it a try since this is a seventh day Adventist private school. Academically, it is not up to par. The children are not being challenged enough. You will be wasting your money and your child’s education will set them back in life. Not worth it. Look for other adventist schools like Cedar Brook in Rehoboth

This school is amazing! The academics are superb, faculty and staff are wonderful, and my 2 kids love going to school. We switched from public a few years back. Best decision we ever made!
