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.

Being a student at DaVinci was a very fun and insightful experience. There is such a tight knit community and its easy to learn and be yourself in the welcoming and accepting atmosphere. Especially during middle school where students are just leaning how to express themselves, it's very important that people feel like they belong.

I love the project based learning because we are really learning skills that will help us in the future. Although we dont have as many AP and honors courses, you can always go to DHS for sports, clubs, and other electives.
