My review isn’t for the whole school because there are good teacher it is for my daughters second grade teach Mrs Campbell and the principal Mrs Martin. Her teacher has had this grudge against her this entire year for some odd reason nitpicked with her about everything caused her to urinate on herself 3 times all which I’ve requested a meeting with teacher and principal and was never set up after all that I dealt with from her teacher throughout the year now at the end of the school year program every child in the school walked across the stage except for my daughter which was extremely embarrassing I set there that whole time waiting for my daughter to come across the stage and she was no where to be found then to find out she was hidden in the back when asked why didn’t she walk her teacher told me she didn’t deserve too! What kind of evil person would stoop so low to pick on a second grade child to that level! Even during the fact of me not wanting to get her anything for teachers appreciation week my daughter still went and picked her out a treat bag and still being such a bitter woman decided to do another lowdown act!! And the principal still has not made an attempt to contact me or the MCS Superintendent! Everything that happens at that school they hide it!

It’s a “clean and well lighted place.” Both my children attended pre-k CLUE there and my oldest went to kindergarten with Mr Bryant as his teacher. My only problem with DTE is that it isn’t our neighborhood school. If we lived in Uptown or Downtown or near enough to walk/bike, both our boys would still be attending. Great principal, great staff, great teachers, parental involvement, award winning academics – this elementary school has it all. It’s was shining star of MCS and SCS is lucky to have it now that the two systems have merged.

I had a horrible experience at Downtown Elementary. My girls were constantly bullied and no one wanted to address the problem nor me. It’s extremely hard to speak with the teachers. The principal is is rude. My number one problem was, I felt that they didn’t really care if the child was learning, their main focus was numbers. I wouldn’t recommend no one sends their child to Downtown Elementary
