I would say the worst part of my experience was during freshman year english. I had this particular teacher that just would not stop picking on me, and I eventually got out of her class because I could not deal with it any longer. The best part of my experience was during last years physics class. The class was great in general with the teacher being one of my favorite teachers ever with him making funny jokes all the time to him letting my stay after class one time to mess with a van de graaff generator and shock my friends. He also was a great teacher and helped me with my work all the time.

Downey High School is an amazing place for a student to find their pathway for the future of college or university. Downey High offers many opportunities and programs wether it is sports or academics or activities.

My overall experience was pretty well. I always felt welcomed by the teachers snd staff. Whether is was the principal, assistant principal, or deans; they always tried to learn our names and always acknowledge us. The school had a lot of clubs and sports to help each student feel like they belonged. There was always security and even a police officer or two on campus to ensure our safety. The teachers were very understanding and easy to go to when we needed anything.

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...
