Danbury is a good small school where everybody knows everybody. The sport games are always fun to go to and they have many opportunities to be involved. Almost everyone is in at least one sport or a club. The worst part about Danbury is that they don't keep their teachers. Almost every year they replace teachers for their core classes. Most of them are young and have no idea what they are doing.

The principals don't know anything you tell them one thing and they do the complete opposite or ignore you.

Teachers are not helpful and some are downright mean. Treats student like trash. Rules are over the top even for the smallest things. Food is terrible. No quaitly teachers and too many subs.

The lower levels (elementary and particularly middle school) have some good to excellent teachers. Once your child gets to the 9th grade however it might be time to start considering other options. The high school offers very little above the basics and the electives (band and art) are far below par...

Just average and if your student moves to another district with higher education level they may find themselves struggling to keep up. Not much to offer outside of basic academics. High emphasis on sports though. Okay small school atmosphere, friendly environment but not much past that.
