This is an "A" school in the Westchase neighborhood and I'm told when it first opened many parents…read moreoutside of this school zone in the Westchase area fought to get their kids into Deer Park. My children have also gone to another "A" school in Westchase and this one might be slightly better, but not by much. All the schools in this area are great schools. AR (Accelerated Reading) testing is encouraged at this school, so my kids do a lot of reading and visits to the library. The AGP program is swift and challenging so your gifted children will thrive here, although science isn't included only math. The last school my children attended included math and science. There are good extracurricular activities available. My children participated in Running Club which is a favorite. There's also chess club and all types of music programs. The music program is fantastic. Mr. Washburn keeps in touch with the parents of children in chorus or any other music program and pushes the children to show artistic creativity in their performances. The vice principal is wonderful and takes time to explain anything a parent has questions about.

This is an elementary school grades K-5…read more My 3 boys have gone here and it's an A rated school. The staff here is excellent and very friendly. Most of the teachers are great and my kids really enjoyed going here. The grounds are kept up pretty good and clean. The drop off and especially the pick up lines are still in need of a better system as it takes almost 45 minutes to pick up each child so you have to prepare for all that. The administration staff seem to have it together as this school again is an A rated school and the leaders of the school have a big part in keeping it that was every single year. School is in Westchase and in a great area for a school. Makes me feel that my child is safe as they have certain policies and systems in place.

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.)

If you are thinking about sending your child here DO NOT. My daughter came here on the HOPE…read morescholarship for being bullied. 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.

This is a really great school! The teachers and administration are really friendly and welcoming,…read moreand they really care about the learning and well-being of their students. Academics are rigorous and students (and teachers alike) are expected to raise the bar for themselves. This is a Title 1 school, but the school earned an "A" for the 2013-2014 school year. I highly recommend this school to any parent zoned for Davis.

DO NOT send your kids here. Avoid enrolling your children here. Numerous safety issues have arisen…read moresince the new administration took over in 2022, such as teachers leaving mid-year, frequent lockdowns, uncontrolled bullying, and violations of overcrowded classroom laws and children's restroom rights. Furthermore, there's a notable lack of professionalism from the administration and office staff. Advocating for your child is discouraged, and if you do, expect rude and upsetting responses. Your child may be seen merely as a financial asset, with little regard for their actual education. The school's "A" rating is solely due to a policy change, as they are unwilling to address safety concerns or any other issues. If you don't speak English, unfortunately, you're marginalized under this administration. Evite inscribir a sus hijos aquí. Han surgido numerosos problemas de seguridad desde que la nueva administración asumió en 2022, como la salida de maestros a mitad de año, bloqueos frecuentes, acoso sin control y violaciones a las leyes de aulas abarrotadas y los derechos de los niños para usar el baño. Además, hay una notable falta de profesionalismo por parte de la administración y el personal de la oficina. Desalientan la defensa de su hijo y, si lo hace, espere respuestas groseras e inquietantes. Su hijo podría ser considerado simplemente como un activo financiero, con poca consideración por su educación real. La calificación "A" de la escuela se debe únicamente a un cambio de política, ya que no están dispuestos a abordar preocupaciones de seguridad u otros problemas. Si no habla inglés, lamentablemente, queda marginado bajo esta administración.h

No backpacks allowed for kindergarten-2nd grade. All the staff is leaving. My kid (middle school)…read morewent from having 6 teachers at the beginning of the year, now they have 3. It's a stem school with no stem teacher( since the beginning of of last year). Both music teachers left or are leaving, both P.E teacher left. Half the middle school teacher left. They release kindergarten - 8th grade at the same time. Carline in the morning take 30 mintues just to drop off my kids. All my children friends are leaving or left. A teacher actually told my children the school won't be open next year.(because there will be no teachers and the school is losing money) The lunch is really bad(my kid hate eating lunch there) Also they don't discipline kids. Kids have left the school during hours and went to publix and no discipline was giving. (his mom's a teacher) Kids (5th grader) have been caught smoking/vaping and only got 3 day suspension. At least 3 occasion where there were Fist fights and no suspension, just a "quit fighting be nice" really bad bulling(name calling and pushing) no action taken, my child said the boy would cry daily and nothing was done. I actually hate the school. I feel the teachers try(at least the lower grades) but multiple teacher are having to pick up the slack of the missing teacher. The principal is actually teaching kids because there is no teachers. The orientation was a mess and no organization at all. Nobody knew where the schedules were or where to pick them up at. The school has bugs, my kids say daily you see termites, ants and cockroaches. I believe the school can be fixed by having better leadership and more organized. I understand that the school is new but the problems that they are having are unacceptable.
