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.

My Overall experience has been pretty great. The schools isn't big so you kind of know everyone there and I think that's a reason as to why the school spirit is so good. Also because it's a smaller school you get to build better relationships with the teachers. My favorite part about Da Vinci Science is sports. Everyone loves to go and support the sports team and I think that's a great way for everyone to bond with each other. Something I would change about it is for the school to tell us how important college is from the start.

I am an alumni from the class of 2013 and I have to say that this school is amazing. Sure the old campus may have a beat down look at some parts with the peeling paint and all, but students who stay true to DV come from humble beginnings where some dust, cracked walls, or peeled paint won't faze the...
