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.

My experience at Davis high school is... interesting to say the least. The whole gun threats and the discrimination of alumni from administration without being held accountable because students are terrified of the repercussions truly saddens me. The students that make teachers quit as well because of their words or behaviors make me disgusted. But it is better than most aldine schools yet don't do cosmetology.

In my opinion, Benjamin O. Davis is a great school. While it has its flaws, as do other schools, it does the best it can with the resources provided. I believe the only thing missing from Davis High School is an abundance of resources. If better resources were provided, I believe students would work harder and be more motivated to accomplish their goals.

The thing about this school is that they separated the kids who are smart and dose who aren’t like me right know they just noticed I am above the average kid and they know decided to put me in other clases I don’t know but I feel like everyone should have the same education.

Davis is not a bad school. Majority of the teachers are good and actually teach you important things related to the subject they teach. The staff needs some improvement I will say because some of the people in the offices are a little unprofessional but, that can be fixed. Our stats would improve dr...
