Davis Junior High School

My daughter just started at this school and I have been very impressed. Mr. Bernier really cares about the kids and academics and the possibility for advanced classes and extra help and simply outstanding.

I have been to 3 Utica Community Schools I have really enjoyed all three! The principle involvement at Davis is Top Rate Mr.Bernier really cares about the kids and their well being both accedemically and socially. I believe that more parents should get involved in the school program to help with extra curricular activities! The more parents are involved in the school system the better and better it gets! The Teachers at Davis are dedicated to the students, when a student has shown a need or interest to the teachers subject matter I have only seen positive results! The teachers set aside time before or after school to help accomodate the kids! This earns them an A in my books. I would recommend this school highly!

First of all, there is a new Principal at Davis, Mr. Bernier and he is extremely dedicated to the students academics and personal well being. The teachers ... some good some not so good, as with most schools. Regarding extra curricular, there's really very little, not much for kids to get involved with, it's a shame. Parent involvement is okay, I've seen better. My child is 'his own person' and has difficulty with the bullies, the administration doesn't watch closely enough, children should speak up but it only causes the child more grief. All in all it's OKAY.

I loveeee this school! Its really fun, and I learn a lot there! I am a cheerleader, but there are also a lot of other extra curricular activites; volleyball, track, cheer, basketball, football, etc. There are advanced classes with excellent teachers. The whole school is kept clean, and safe.

This school has a big bullying problem period! And although the stafff claims they have a good policy in effect for this problem, they don't! They brush off these issues and keep them hush hush, and if you are thinking of sending your kids here, you better be prepared to have your child 'keep up with the jones' and fit into a crowd and not be themselves or they will be picked on, and nothing will be done. You will be told that they cannot tell you what diciplin was giving to the bullys 'by law' these bullies are protected! And the victims just keep getting victimized, I will not send my child back to this school next year and I have other children in elementary that will not go to this school

Davis is an amazing school. It offers many different classes, electives, and extra corricular classes. The teachers are very supportive and will help the students whenever needed. I don't think I would want to go to any other junior high school! :] Go Raiders!
