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.

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.

I am prepared for my next four years because of my time at West Davidson High. It is a small town school, but sends students out with a game plan for what is next. The community is very supportive of the school and the teams. Even when the team record is not a good record, they show up and cheer. I know that I will have friends and associates for a lifetime because of my time at West Davidson.... Go Dragons!!!

I loved West Davidson, obviously it was not perfect, but it was a good school to go to. My favorite parts were pep rallies, basketball games, and so much senior events: senior sunrise, senior chalk parking spots, barn nights, senior night, etc. I wouldn't really say I had a worst experience, that would probably be COVID year. But as usual, high school is what you make it, so honestly just be yourself and be social. The teachers there were so much fun.

I have quite enjoyed my experience at West Davidson. I think it is a pretty good school overall. It is very safe. We, as the students, refer to the food as prison food, it is not good at all. The arts program needs a lot more funding, and I wish there was a drama program or at least a drama club.

If a kid brings a fake gun to school after being suspended already for bringing a knife they're still allowed to return. The...
