Downingtown schools have a good reputation, though I recall hearing things about a teachers strike or plans for one.

Google PA School Report Cards to find the website that grades the PA schools. You'll find all sorts of interesting info in there, beyond test scores. Visit the schools as well before deciding, though realize you'll see only their party face.

It's not easy moving kids.

Good luck!

Downingtown teachers have been without a contract since August. By the time the OP moves, hopefully that would be settled. Downingtown is good - don't go any farther west into Coatesville.

Check out SchoolMatters - Home for comparison of individual schools as well as districts.

Its almost impossible to find a bad school district in Chester County. The 3 best are Great Valley,Tredyffrin-Eastown, and Unionville Chadds Ford.

Downington West is a very good school district as is Downingtown East.

Good luck.
