GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I appreciate that my school offers rigorous coursework that is preparing me for college. I would like to see admin be more open to student feedback and involvement in decision making. They could also find more effective ways to combat incidents of hate on campus.

Im currently a senior at Davis Senior High. I cheer, which was a big part of high school in the beginning of the year. Was super fu into be apart of the team and involved in the school in that way. But academic wise, it gets overwhelming and stressful. Keeping my up with lacks of sleep to catch up on.
