I've been a student in the Downingtown Area School District since I started going to school. I've had an amazing experience at all the schools I've gone to, but there are still aspects that could be improved upon. The district provides amazing resources and opportunities for all their students to prepare them for their future. In middle and high school, there is a great variety of courses students can take and students can partake in many extracurriculars (clubs, sports, academic teams...). Compared to other districts, I think that DASD provides an above average experience to students, but there is still a lot of room for improvement that would make the experience for students much better.
My three children have each had indivual experiences in the Downingtown Area schools. Currently, our high school senior is active in many clubs, including students for change and ultimate frisbee among others. He participated on the JV soccer team as a freshman, and enjoys attending sporting events with his friends. Our twins are currently in the middle school; however all three boys have attended DASD schools since kindergarten. My middle schoolers are active in school sports and academics. One of the DASD strengths is the special education department. Children with learning disabilities and anxiety/depression can excel with the fantastic special ed department supporting them.
I had a fine experience at Downingtown. Some really great teachers, some really horrible teachers. When I went there the district did not seem interested in diversity or inclusion, and I felt singled out in school because I was openly gay.
