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.

As a Senior at Davidson High School, I love how the teachers treat the students, there is true joy from seeing them teach and I have appreciated all the love the staff has to offer. One major change needed to improve Davidson is allowing for equal opportunity. Most students at Davidson are robbed of academic chances due to lack of attention as most attention is directed toward the IB program.

W.P. Davidson High School is a school that tries to prepare its students for the future, whether that student may want to go to college or join the workforce. W.P. Davidson has many resources to get students the help they need to advance themselves.
