The Downingtown STEM academy is a place where dreams go to die. The best and brightest kids are crippled socially, choosing to live under the 'cooperative and project based environment'.
Anyone who wants to maintain a set of extracurriculars and social events will be stuck staying up until 1 AM as the teachers don't give 2 shits about your well being.
The electives are a joke, and in 11th grade you essentially have to choose a career from their pool of 5.
Your GPA will get ruined unless you study constantly. Both of the other high schools are better. Even Downingtown West.
Kid 1: Hey how are you liking the STEM Academy?
Kid 2: Well, I chugged 2 redbulls and stayed up until 1 PM doing Biology. I love it!
Kid 1: Are you sure that's healthy?
Kid 2: Well, my teacher said that 2 hours of sleep is fine for someone my age.
Kid 1: Uhh...
