I had the worst possible experience here at Davis Street. Most of the teachers for grades k - 4th are very cruel and often take their anger out on the kids. The teachers in 5-8th grade are very harsh on everyone. There was one teacher specifically who scared me and my friends. Some of the teachers changed my life for the better but most of the teachers hurt my mental state and life forever. Not to mention the lack of attention to problems. There has been 3 incidents I know about where the teachers knew about the problem and did nothing. Just don't go to this school.
