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.

More access to teachers for additional help and teaching. Beyond the classroom time, having access and more time to have with teachers and extra clarification, would better help my learning. I know others desire this more as well.

I really like East and I think its a good school. I am only a freshman but I like all my teachers and classes. I think that I am learning and doing really well. Some classes are hard but I think I just have to study more. I don't do any school sports, only out of school ones, but I have heard from my friends that the coaches are super helpful. I think the cafeteria food is better than what you see on TV but they could have more healthy options. I don't just mean healthy meals, which they have, but I mean they could make the unhealthy food a little better. Every time I get pizza I have to use a tissue to dab up all the oil, and the meat is a little suspicious too. But overall, it's a lot better than what I thought it would be. I think Downingtown East Highschool is a really good place for people, and it's great for people like me who aren't sure of a proffesion yet.

Downingtown East is a decent school with APs and honors classes. The sports teams are well funded but the music department is largely underfunded. The counselors are largely unhelpful but most of the teachers are willing to work with you.

In my freshman English class at PSU my professor will highly satisfied with my writing skills as well as research skills to write a...
Downingtown East High School does a great job preparing kids for college. I have two graduates who did and are doing excellent in college. I have a senior who is doing very well All did very very well on their SAT's and had no trouble getting into the college of their choice.
Tough school district to say the least. Students here have grown up with one another and are very clicky. My daughter just completed her first year of high school here. We moved here from out west. She found it very difficult fitting in and making friends which was very disappointing since she was s...
This school was a life-saver for my son. I transferred him over from a failing school district when we moved to the area. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! His behavior changed tremendously. I noticed a huge difference in the teachers/staff at this school. They truly took an interest in my son and his academic (...
