Davidsen is in a nice area, the school has good resources and programs. In the 2017-2018 school…read moreyear most of the staff in the office had changed, including the principals. Now Davidsen Middle is a "Center for the Arts", they basically just made a dance class and there is a new art class. Make no mistake. It's not a loony art school- it's a regular public school with every aspect of public school but it includes an dance class and an extensive list of extra art classes. (Like most other schools in America anyways so I don't see the appeal of calling it a school/ center for the arts.)

I disagree with the only other person who reviewed this school. Though as we all know, these are…read moreour opinions so the only way to know better than what we state, is to look into it for yourself. This is a great school, the principle (Mrs. French) is AMAZING-knows most all of the students by name, even the 6th graders. My child is a good girl-her average yearly GPA is a 3.9. I think that being separated from boys is a great idea because the girls can focus on their studies rather than on the boys (don't act like you can't relate, or did you forget how it is to be a teen with raging hormones?). In my opinion, they need to create an all girls high school as well-but the county won't, nor those parents who think their 2 cents is needed (if you don't support single gender schools and have no intentions of enrolling your child in one-keep your opinion to yourself-this obviously doesn't apply to you and we don't need your voice heard in regards to this matter). At any rate, the area does kinda suck but having a magnet school in the area is just a tactic to bring/clean up the surrounding neighborhood, or so I assume. The school is old, obviously not the employees faults but not filthy. I believe the maintenance/cleaning crew has won an award for 2 yrs in a row now for their team/performance. The curriculum is challenging-but maybe that's because my daughter is in all advanced courses-yes, every last one (yes-I am a proud mother, but I am sure you get that by all I've said thus far). I have no complaints of the staff. The teachers communicate well, and the office staff are courteous. The HOST program is great and the HOST staff...well I couldn't ask for better. My daughter has been on the school's soccer team and also in band and I'll be adding Golf Academy to the list for this upcoming school year. Overall, this has been an excellent experience. I drive 20 mins. out of my way (taking Expressway of course, and tack on another 15 mins. to get to my job), but it is worth it to me. We fully intend on finishing out her middle school experience at Ferrell. My daughter loves the school and if she loves it, then I love it too. But a lot of the girls love the school and make good grades (of course not all)-so that should speak for something! Oh-and they do have school dances where the boys from the all boys prep school (Franklin I believe) come to attend. The girls also play their sports right before the all boys prep so there's a chance to mingle there for a few...and also in the summer HOST program, it is co-ed. So see? Not JUST all girls-they so get some boy interaction, it's just not on a daily which is fine by me! Besides, most girls in this age group would rather be around girls...this is the age range where they start to blossom. Oh, this is an Apple certified school, so each girl is assigned an iPad to carry throughout the day. Check it out-only you can decide what you believe is best for your daughter. I only see benefits for mine. This is an A rated school. It is new, I believe only 3 yrs old, but trust me, your child can reap more benefits by attending this school than a co-ed or traditional school. Go see for yourself :) Oh, and this review is not up for debate. I'm not interested in hearing the confrontational parent who wants to argue single gender schools, this is just my review on my daughters school, that we so love.

I can not say enough good things about Center Academy. We, like a lot of the families of children…read morewith disabilities, were searching for an alternative to public school for our daughter when we found them. For years she struggled with fitting in socially and not being understood which in turn affected her academically. She did have a handful of some amazing teachers along the way, but the system as whole was not equipped for her educational and social success. Center Academy changed all of that. They treated my daughter like she was no different than anyone else and gave her back her confidence. They have small classroom sizes which gives them the ability to help students who may be struggling or need more individualized instruction. They are extremely good at keeping the parents informed and included along the way as well. The entire atmosphere of the school is one of patience and understanding, and is built for success. We only wish we had found them sooner. The director, the teachers, and the amazing staff were a blessing to us. We are forever grateful to them for the huge role they played in our daughter's life.
