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.

Apparently the reason why I felt like I didn't enjoy much of my high school years was because i didn't make much of it, meaning that I should've joined more sports or band or ground and things like STEM club but I didn't , even if I did want to I wasn't able to because either my mom wasn't going to pick me up after school if I stayed late or because I wasn't that good of a person to socialize like I used to, but now that I'm heading to college I need to be prepared for the real work and out of my zone and experiment what life brings to me . But apart from all those bad things, I loved how it was always nice to spend time with my friends and teachers and all those funny and fun enjoyable moments that I'll never forget will be the reasons why I wish I've always lived in them, but I know that I have to let go and grow. I would like to see change for senior teachers to let us know exactly what can we do to earn more chords for graduation, but apart from that, that's all.

Overall, my experience was good. I enjoyed my teachers, the staff, friends, and extracurricular activities. Some courses were hard and difficult. However, the tutoring services helped a lot.

Overall, I think the school is great but, majority of the students that go here don't really want to learn or don't care about their education (like most kids anywhere)...They're too worri...

Davis High School is just like many high schools in America. It is struggling with parental involvement. If parents become more involved the school will improve. The school will boost it's finances if students attend class. Students and parents do not often understand that attendance brings money to...
