My experience at Downey high school has been great honestly. I've meet new people and got into many different things throughout the years. Volleyball has definitely been by far my best experience in highschool since it brought me happiness, play in a competitive environment and spend it with friends/teamates. I've never really had a bad experience at Downey highschool but I would like the food to improve a lil bit more but besides that it has been a great school and I'm glad I got to go to this school.

I honestly love attending Downey High School. The school offers a variety of classes and clubs students can be a part of and expand their social circle. My worst experience from the school was communication with some teachers, however, the schools not really in control of that. I would like to see dances be more affordable because not everyone can afford a $50 dance ticket plus getting an outfit and everything that comes either dances.

Terrible. There is ongoing bullying, violence (on campus fights) that staff is unaware of, students who run in groups and start trouble that staff is aware of but they turn a bind eye to. The teachers and staff show up collect a paycheck & go home. There are a few instructors that really care but ve...
