I love many things about DTS but the experience in Middle School has been disappointing, to say the least. Some teachers only follow accommodations if legal action is threatened. Most are professional but there have been two in particular that have caused a LOT of difficulty. How your kids do in soc
Posted by a parent on 10/8/2025It has become a concern of mine that my child and 7th grade student always comes home and complains that other students are annoying/bullying him. To create a positive atmosphere I try my best and encourage my child to be kind and help others in need, but it is concerning that despite my child’s eff
Posted by a parent on 10/15/2024The Downtown School does a great job of making everyone feel that they are part of the team. As a parent of 3 children who have/are attending this School, I feel that they offer a unique experience that most other school cannot. Parents are required to volunteer, which can be a challenge, but it has
Posted by a parent on 12/8/2023I feel extremely lucky to have both of my children at DTS! The environment is academically challenging, but not inane. The teachers and staff are nurturing and respectful. Children are treated as individual learners as there are only 15 kids per class. While we may not have the funding, due to our s
Posted by a parent on 3/4/2013It is very concerning that there is almost no arts instruction at a school which is so highly touted.This is a glaring omission in a well rounded education. One of the great advantages, multiage classrooms, is being discontinued.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a former student and current parent of two amazing children at KP, I can say with confidence that this school has grown tremendously over the past three years, and I’ve seen the transformation with my own eyes. From the teachers who genuinely take their time and invest in each child’s learning, to the way students feel seen, heard, and empowered through everyday challenges, assessments, and special school events, KP is truly creating something special. This isn’t just a school where you drop your child off and pick them up, it’s a full experience. The environment is supportive, uplifting, and safe. My girls don’t just learn here, they thrive here. And as a parent, that’s all I could ever ask for.I’m grateful for the staff, the leadership, and the intentional care that goes into making this school a community.La HP FamiliaParent Review1y ago - Cook Literacy Model School
