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.

Grace M Davis high school is a large school with a lot of diversity. I liked the school because the environment was great and easy to adapt for someone who just immigrated from a war country. Overall, I liked my education process and improvements there.

My experience at Davis was fun. I met a lot of great people and most of the teachers there are nice. I would say that the worst part were the bathrooms because they weren't always open and most of the time they're not clean. Overall, it's an ok school and I'd give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Students are able to collaborate on and off site using their new devices (which is what they will be expected to do in college). The academies and programs offered are amazing-- students get...

My son is junior at Davis and the experience has been a great one. Davis has gotten a bad reputation over the past several years and is frustrating to the students that attend Davis. I have heard it is called the ghetto school. Recently I was speaking to a parent from another school and when I asked...
