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.

Davidson has offered a fun and welcoming atmosphere. The teachers are caring and prepare you for success. The best part about Davidson is the arts program. The worst part is the ant infestation. I would like the school to get rid of the ants and clean our water fountains.

The best part about attending DFA is the passion each and every student has for their respective fine arts. Music, theater, dance, etc... There's something for everyone, and discovering which fine art is for you can help you better understand yourself. I don't think there's really a bad part about attending DFA, but if I had to pick, I'd say that the facilities could be a bit cleaner. That's what I would like to see change. I'm proud to be a DFA Titan!

The rigor of this school definitely prepares you for college. There's lots of opportunities for improvement and to challenge yourself academically. There's also great opportunities to express yourself through the fine arts. Only con is the lack of sports and how much work is assigned.

Excellent, so far. Two of my grandchildren have been in Davidson since 6th grade. This is truly a magnet school. It will challenge your child's ability and prepare them for college, if they are up for the challenge.
