The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

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.
