This school is full of hate and violence. No one gets along here. I am a Jr. at Davis and all 3 years have been bad for me.

I am going to have to agree with this parent. I too am a parent of a senior at Davis High and I have ran into the same situation that this parent is expressing. The staff is rude, belittling, and treats you more like a student than a parent. I have already voiced this to one staff member which I feel should have been done and should continue with all parents until they receive the message!! Hope your listening (reading) Davis High staff in the office.

Although Grace Davis is not physically the most attractive school in MCS, it is still a good place to learn. It allows students to appreciate what they have, and to not take things for granted. It would be wonderful and maybe a bit more motivating for students if GDHS got a little more TLC. Other than that, I would highly recommend this school to parents.

I am a graduate of Grace davis high school year of 2005. All my siblings attended davis and are happy to have done so. Both my brother and i are award winning chefs and It wouldn't be possible if programs like ag science and home economics weren't available.The sports programs are exellent Just look at 2008 pac-10 mvp Ashley walker. My little sister will be a freshmen and plans to use basketball as a avenue to success. To all the parents complaining, remember the teachers are not there to hold hands they are there to teach. Grace davis high is a great realistic transition to college. there will be no teachers watching your every move calling home every minute. you are there 6 hours learn and retain. Parents have an obligation to teach, train and manage their childrens academic career not drop them off and hope they pay attention.

Very disappointed, the administration and the teachers have very poor communication skills. They say they have an open door yet when you come in to sit down and discus your issues they don't want to hear it. I have had nothing but problems with Davis and at this point just hope that my student can graduate with no more drama.

I'm not a parent, nor a teacher at Davis high but I am a sophmore at Davis high! Davis offers some of the best classes and sports and yes it might be over crowed and maybe some teachers should be replaced but not all of them and those that dont need to be replaced are great teachers! I started my freshmen year thinking it would be the worst just because of the school but by the end I had realized that Davis was the best choice for me ! The teachers and staff memeber are a lot of help! There are also many programs at Davis that are dedicated to helping students! The help is there for those who want it! Students just need to look for it! -Beatriz R.

The quad is terrible, the only reason this school has high test scores is because of the overworked/amazing teachers. The school is badly underfunded, and compares little to enochs high and johansen high.
