west Chester (Bradford, Downingtown: home, middle schools, living)

[sparky021592]

Well I wrote a month ago asking about Downingtown and now we found a home in West Chester we absolutely love. A little more ground and country living than I am used to but the area is beautiful. Does anyone know about East Bradford schools? The realtors are not allowed to tell you anything and I have 2 kids in elementary and 1 in middle school soon to be going to high school. I really appreciate anyone's input.
Thanks

www.schoolmatters.com Great website for comparing schools. Realtors cannot recommend but they can certainly give you information. Shame on them for not passing on pssa scores or the above website. We've moved three times with our kids and the school information was our number one issue.

I havent visited that site but I know the schools in EB and cant imagine
them being anything but good. My Wife subbed at the elem. school
your child is going to before and spoke highly of it. The two middle schools
you speak of, I forget thier names now, one is on Rt. 100...??? I think
thats where your middle school child will go and thats a good one. The
on on 202 south (starkweather ??)is a little ruff. High school could
be D-town or Henderson depending on what your actual WB address is.
Both are good schools. Best wishes on your relocation !

WHAT?????? Starkweather is DEFINATELY NOT ROUGH AT ALL! I think you are confused with some other school! Get your fact straight before you post please!

I am the parents of 2 kids who went there from the year it opened and I was extremely involved IN the school during the entire time. I live 2 seconds from it too. nothing rough about it.

Ah I see now. You AREconfused about the schools. Starkweather is NOT a middle school its an elementary. Stetson is the middle school and yes the BUILDING was rough but that BLDG is gone and an entire new school has been built for a few years now. Stetson AND Starkweather are great schools BUILDING and otherwise!
