This school is horrible. They are very ineffective. The administration is inept. They can't keep good teachers. The teachers who do stay are part of the problem. I would strongly encourage anyone to take their kids somewhere else and stay far away from this school. Look at the results and you will see that this school is just not worth it.

The Administration is amazing, The Parent Group is one of the best in the State. After school sports need improvement.

I think Downs is a great school, due to that they have after school activities for the eighth graders and they have the greatest teachers to which are very open to the parents and also for parents to be active in classroom social parties, or holiday gatherings. There principal very nice, you see her walking around all the time and when you pick up you child(ren) you see her outside watching how everything's going and her's nice enough to say Hi! I really like the eighth grade teachers, they're very caring when it comes the childrens performance and do anything they can to help them improve.

Too many students to one teacher. Thats the reason our school is not meeting its standards. Students are sent home to do their homework, and parents are sometimes not equipped to help their child. So therefore are sent to school with incomplete or wrong work. The spanish and english homework is together on the same paper?? Confusing to students, they should be separate.
