    My son has attended Davinci for 2 years now (Kindergarten & 1st grade). I have been in direct…read morecontact with his teachers both years which I absolutely love! I feel that is not something public school teachers are able to do given their larger class sizes. The students that attend here are gentle, smart, and sweet kids. I am SO grateful my son got in. I still can't believe it! Will add more to my review later.. have more great and detailed things to mention than I have time for at the moment .. be back soon!!

    As a staff member, I feel it's important to share an honest perspective on the current state of…read moreDavinci Academy. Unfortunately, my experience has been overwhelmingly negative due to poor leadership, lack of professionalism, and an unsafe school environment. Leadership & Administration: Principal Emily Eggers is extremely unprofessional and frequently yells at staff. She has publicly called staff "backstabbers" for communicating concerns to district-level administrators and often labels teachers as unprofessional without ever observing their classrooms. It's also concerning that she has minimal in-person classroom experience, having only taught in an online setting before becoming principal. The new Dean of Students contributes to the toxic atmosphere. He seems to enjoy the authority that comes with his position but speaks negatively about teachers behind their backs, which damages morale and trust among staff. The administrative team as a whole is often absent from the building -- they're typically on site only about 50% of the time -- leaving little accountability or visible leadership. Teaching & Instruction: Instructional leadership is outdated and resistant to change. The ELA lead teacher refuses to adapt teaching methods or differentiate instruction for students with varying needs. The math department has turned over completely for the second year in a row. Last year's teachers were all fired, and the new hires this year are struggling just as much. It's extremely concerning that the school can't seem to retain qualified math teachers year after year. Several teachers are not fully licensed in their assigned subject areas. The RTI teacher, PE teacher, and tech teacher lack proper certifications, and only one of the special education teachers is fully licensed. This creates a serious problem in ensuring quality instruction and legal compliance. School Environment & Student Behavior: Student behavior is a major issue. There is frequent fighting, constant swearing, and open use of racial slurs like the N-word. These incidents are rarely handled appropriately or effectively. The administration tends to ignore or downplay discipline problems, which makes the environment unsafe for both staff and students. Overall Culture: The culture of the school is toxic, unprofessional, and unstable. Staff turnover is high, morale is extremely low, and there is very little support for teachers. Leadership fails to model professionalism or create a safe and supportive atmosphere for learning. At this point, I would not recommend Davinci Academy especially the middle school to potential staff, students, or families. Until there is a complete overhaul of leadership and a serious focus on student behavior and staff support, this school will continue to struggle.

    HELLO IT IS I SIR LOCUST THE THRID AND IM HERE TO PLACE AN UPDATE ON COLUMBIA ACADEMY MIDDLE SCHOOL…read more Hearken, good folk of the realm, for I, Sir Locust The III, hath returned from mine accursed pilgrimage unto the dread halls of Columbia Academy--and lo, the torment endureth still. The stone walls yet echo with the groans of weary scholars, burdened by scrolls most tedious and lessons that sap the very will to live (in an academic sense, of course). The keepers of this institution, though clad in garments of authority, appear no wiser than before, for chaos yet reigneth in the corridors like an untamed beast. The feast halls (they call them "cafeterias") continue to serve rations of such questionable origin that even the kingdom's rats would pause in suspicion. And the bells--oh, the infernal bells!--they toll with such fury that one might think the end times approach thrice daily. I had once hoped for reform, a glimmer of enlightenment within these cursed grounds. Alas, 'tis but a fool's dream. The academy persists as a fortress of confusion and despair, unyielding to change, unmoved by the cries of its students. Thus I proclaim: enter these gates only if thou art prepared for trials most vexing, and arm thyself with patience, for thou shalt surely need it. -- Sir Locust The III, ever-suffering reviewer of the realm
