Elizabeth Davis Middle School

We have had an extremely positive experience at Davis. My child has enjoyed her classes and the relationships she has developed with her teachers and the staff!

EDMS is just awful to say the least. My nephew has been going here for 2 years now and here it is just the 5th day of school and we have already scheduled meetings with one of his teachers and the principal. For one, there is NOT enough diversity in the school. Kids and parents want to see other people that look like them. This school lacks African American, Hispanic, Asian or Middle Eastern teachers and it can be a very uncomfortable/intimidating feeling. The teachers at this school are so hit and miss. You may have 2 good, caring, authentic teachers, but also get stuck with 2 more teachers that are rude, in-genuine and disrespectful. The stories my nephew has told me about the treatment he gets is so alarming that teachers would talk or even act how they do towards CHILDREN. There has been a teacher that has put her hands on him and grabbed him by the arm very aggressively that was even caught on the school cameras. The teachers talk and act very disrespectful to students as if they are adult bullies. All that behavior does for a child is bring on anxiety and make them feel unwanted. Teachers are suppose to be fun, loving adults that these kids should be able to go to for anything. Some kids face a lot at home and school is suppose to be their safe place, however some of these teachers rob the students of that. My nephew has an IEP in place because he does suffer with a disability yet some of his teachers have completed disregarded that. The teachers at EDMS will give it a bad reputation because of their attitudes and treatment. If you cannot show respect to children and/or parents then you should change your profession.

I've had two very different kids at this school. The teachers are fantastic and everybody has been helpful and go above and beyond to make students successful.

Amazing the teachers make the students feel welcome and safe no matter what.
