Good school, I see that there's definitely more resources this year for college readiness and with definitely more openness to giving all students opportunities to have advanced classes than I did when I was a sophomore. I'm glad that there's this kind of opportunities that they are giving to all students, but I wished they had given those chances instead of denying it.

Davis High School is unfair sometimes and the teachers need to put in grades on time they act like they so busy that they can't put in grades , the food needs to be better , they need more money, invest more money in other clubs other than footballs and cheerleading, recognize all the achievements by all clubs

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...
