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.

DSA calls themselves to be the best Middle school in the area yet allowed kids to be bullied. Administration targets children, extremely strict to the point that kids cannot be kids. Teachers are encouraged to not allow children to go use the bathroom even if they have a medical condition and supports have been provided to administration. I could go on and on about DSA honestly, but as usual they will only disclose what is convenient for them.

Dayspring overall is a good school. They care about their students and there grades. They try to help everyone succeed and prepared for college. The only thing that is wrong is that when you get into dual enrollment they don't seem prepared. Maybe students have been unable to get their AA due to Daysprings mistakes. Dayspring often misses something that screws over the student. They also don't seem prepared enough for their college students due to not having any classrooms for their classes. The high school has to many kids and the 8th graders should not be there. Dayspring is a good school but isn't the best or most organized when it comes to their dual enrollment students.

Great school. The admin and teachers seem to care to a degree I haven't seen anywhere else. Such a safe school as well, never any fights or illegal substances. The college program offered is beyond amazing.

I feel compelled to share my experience with DaySpring Academy, specifically the Ovation Campus, as I believe it is crucial for parents and guardians to be aware of the environment their children are in. While the school's mission may be to foster a supportive and nurturing educational atmosphere, m...
