GreatSchools Rating
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.

Downsville is a very small community school that has grades PK-12. My core 4 class have a grand total of 15 and that is if everyone returns. I like the small town feel where everyone knows everyone. A school where when I was small I could watch and learn from the older kids. Now I'm an older student I want to be a good role model for the younger grades. I like that they are pushing us and getting us ready for college to the best of their ability. The one thing I would change other than the food, is you have no choice of classes you take like you do at other bigger schools.
