I was shocked to discover this school has a C rating. We came here three years ago to escape the stress of a "high performing" school and have found this school, the teachers and the administration to be far better in just about every way. Our three children are happy instead of stressed out, come home inquisitive and eager to learn more instead of exhausted and beat down, and have much healthier relationships with their friends. I am newish to Texas and we didn't do the strange emphasis on the star back home but if that is what is used to determine school ratings, maybe there should be a better system. We love Davis and the PTA and the teachers and Mrs. Morley and the principal and the friendly kitchen staff and the amazing special ed aides who have helped one of my three feel "normal" for the first time in his life. This rating is undeserved.

Excellent. My family would rate our experience as a 10/10. Our children have loved being students there. Their teachers have been kind and caring. Administrators listen to parent concerns and make every attempt to address them. Parents are involved and volunteer regularly making it feel like a true community school.

Awful. All negative experiences and behaviors get swept under the rug.

My daughter is in 2nd grade and has been in Davis since PK. She is very fond of all her teachers and counsellors. Due to the drop in great school rankings since the past academic year, we were considering to move to our neighboring school district. But my daughter was completely against the idea. We decided to continue in the same school and am happy we made the right decision. There has been greater emphasis on closing the gaps academically. The school has a 'project based learning' approach. My daughter has specially enjoyed the robotics sessions she had in the fall. We also love the amazing PTA and very friendly staff.
