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 loved West Davidson, obviously it was not perfect, but it was a good school to go to. My favorite parts were pep rallies, basketball games, and so much senior events: senior sunrise, senior chalk parking spots, barn nights, senior night, etc. I wouldn't really say I had a worst experience, that would probably be COVID year. But as usual, high school is what you make it, so honestly just be yourself and be social. The teachers there were so much fun.

Ive only attened West Davidson for two year as the school does provide us with a fair education, it could be better. I would love to see more involement between the peers and teachers. More diversity amoung the class, and no judgement.

I loved every last one of my teachers but what I noticed is no one put their foot down on the constant fights and constant bullying. I was bullied horribly at west Davidson high school and none of the administration cared enough to hear what me or other students had to say. The administration treated our school like it was a prison and yes somedays we had fun events but at the end of the day they were more worried about what the kids had in their backpacks then worrying about them getting an education and focusing on the importance of our education. I would like to see more encouragement in our school and less treating us like prisoners.

This is the 8th school My child has attended thus far on her education journey. This school is a mess. They ignore 504s and doctor's notes. Don't follow school board policies. If a kid brings a fake gun to school after being suspended already for bringing a knife they're still allowed to return. The...
