I am nothing but impressed with this school. Staff is ever attentive and present at all times. Teachers are awesome . The overall educational content is on point. As well as the spiritual aspect. I scouted 2 other schools before I decided to enroll her here. When I first stepped on the campus I knew right away that this is a good place to have my daughter spend her crucial formative years at. Since then its just a blessing to see my kid grow and learn under their wing.

Besides all of the tender-loving care, this school also does a great job of preparing your child academically, and, most of all, teaching them lessons from the Bible. We were also pleased by the distance learning our boys received when the school closed abruptly due to Covid, compared to what we heard from friends at other schools. This is a challenging time for all schools and we are thankful to be a part of DCS.

It's a shame so many people are rating Downey High School based on one experience completely…read moreunrelated to the education component itself. The front office staff don't teach, they are attendance clerks. They don't get paid to make friends, entertain or even serve the public. They get paid to manage the attendance of over 4,000 teenagers. They have to deal with teachers, administration and unruly parents all day long. If you were in their shoes, you'd probably be stressed out too. Unlike most of you, my encounters with the front office staff have always been pleasant. If you have a suggestion or complaint, consider taking it up with someone in charge, like an administrator. If there are none available at the time of your visit, a simple search on the school website will provide you with all the information and email addresses of the various people in charge for you to reach out to. Trust me, they aren't looking for your feedback on Yelp.

Our experience at this school was dreadful and disappointing. From the first few weeks, I felt a…read moreterrible sensation in my gut. The teacher would hold the students back past dismissal time, would not acknowledge the parents, would leave me talking, minimize my concerns, and set my child for failure. In one year that my daughter attended she did not learn to read or write. Unfortunately, we are not able to leave because the other schools had met their enrollment capacity. Now, my daughter is below grade level but is working hard at the new school with the support of her new teachers to catch up. The only thing we miss about this school is the spirituality. I tried countless times to address the concerns, I spent the year in countless meetings trying to come to an understanding for the teacher, Elena Haas's capacity to teach Kinder, age-inappropriate curriculum and anxiety my daughter had developed. My concerns were not addressed. Monsignor Lorenzo who is in charge of the school was not able to come to an agreement with the teacher and Principal to provide a simple parent meeting to discuss academic concerns. At other schools, Principals invite parents on a monthly basis to coffee with the principal to maintain communication and address concerns. But not at this school. This school is clean and does a good job spiritually but academically they are terrible. If you want to give your child a solid academic foundation, you should take them somewhere else. This school also is more interested in your money than in your child's academic career. Expect to donate and give money to the school every week. The school will not sponsor any event, although they charge higher tuition, higher service hours and higher annual tuition than other schools.
