This is the best school I've ever been to. The teachers are considerate, caring, and very supportive. I've been to many schools in my life, but this is by far the best one !!!!!!

Excellent Middle School! This is my daughter's first year at South. She absolutely loves it. The homework was a bit overwhelming for her at first, but she has adjusted and learned not to procrastinate. I believe they push kids to do their very best and work at their highest ability level. The teachers seem great and keep their website updated with homework and other information. The Principal is outstanding. He greets the kids in the morning with a smile and seems very accessible. He even has a sense of humor (always good at the Middle School level)! Keep up the great work!

I think South Davie is on of the best schools in North Carolina.The teachers make you want to go to school.The homework is just the right amount.But the amount of time to eat your lunch is to short.Also we need more time to get to classes and have time to go to our locker.The track also needs to be changed because we can not go outside if it just rained even if it is a very nice day.

I think that south davie is a great environment for children to learn. I just think that some of the teachers shouldn't be so strict on the dresscodes. I also think that south davie needs an asphalt track like every other middle school.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 North Carolina used End-of-Grade (EOG) tests to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math, and grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The EOG is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Carolina. Students must pass the grade 8 EOG test in order to graduate from high school. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the tests.
