the environment & atmosphere was by gar the best i've seen in a highschool. such positive energy & the teachers there genuinely care about ur well being. and since it's a smaller school ur able to focus on what u need help with in the classroom. definitely recommend and child going here especially because it's career tech program based.

The teachers are very supportive to encourage my classmates to participate and I have fun doing activities and learning with my teacher Commander Moore in Public Safety and classmates. The teachers were also reminding me often of what is due so I don't procrastinate two weeks later and it was very encouraging because, in college, teachers might just announce the deadline only once. I learn a lot and the Financial Literacy class taught me things that I might not learn if I have never pick Columbus Downtown High School.
