I was placed for my internship here and my 5th grade cooperating teacher is incredible. She allows me to use my obtained education knowledge to prepare and teach the students in the class. The students are very kind and able to help you whenever you are lost on campus which happened to me the first week!

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 was told that this is a zero tolerance for bullying school which is a complete lie. Two faculty members had bullied my child. Ms. Martz and now assistant principal Judith Romera Williams. She is rude, arrogant and unprofessional. They do nothing about harassment. My child has been emotionally, verbally, mentally and now physically abused at this school. I cannot wait to pull my child from this school. If you are a parent that cares for the well being of your child it is advised to not go here.

Don't get me wrong, I really loved this school and everything was fine till my very last year. Some teachers don't even deserve to teach. However, there were some teachers that loved what they did and I actually got to learn something from them. If I go into details of everything that happened while I attended, it'll be never ending stories. So let just say I had good and bad things happened. The good thing is that I graduated before they installed cameras and locked gates so that anyone who was in couldn't get out, lol. The bad is that we were on lockdown several times for firearm incident. Scariest moments of my life! The second bad news is that all the kids from Leto high school transferred to Alonso and made this a bad school. I'm just happy I got to be in Alonso before it got worst. This school had potential, not so sure of it anymore. Nevertheless, I'll always be a Raven. Fly high, soar proudly!

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.
