(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is a wonderful community school. My daughter is only in Pre-K and I have had nothing but positive experiences with teachers, staff, and other parents on the PTO. They are all about the children and have various after school programs and extra fun activities to attend throughout the year. When I contacted the teacher and principal with questions I was called immediately back. My daughter and I love Downeast school.
