John S. Davidson Fine Arts Magnet School

I have been a student here for 3 years and I have really regret making the choice of going to this school. This is my last year, and I am happy about it. I have gotten really bad anxiety and depression from the three I have been here. I have to leave this school because of my grades, and it is not my fault. This school provides no help when it comes to kids who learn in different ways that they have to learn. They teach their lesions too fast for their kids to learn them and understand them, and they give too many tests in one week! I have really been suffering since I have started this school. Please do not put your kids in this school! It will make their lives so much harder!

Quite simply the very best school you could EVER wish your child could be lucky enough to get to. It’s tough it’s hard … but oh my gosh it’s amazing. The teachers are not just teachers. They are inspiring and I thank them for the most wonderful six years you gave us. Thank you. I can not imagine a better experience. You helped to make my son the man he is. I also wanted to add that my son came from five years at Augusta prep but struggled for his first year at Davidson. This school is tough. But it’s so worth it. It breaks my heart that he’s graduating this year.

Definitely has some of the most skilled, efficient, talented, professional, upmost qualified, and brilliant Fine Arts Educational staff to teach children. However, Academic Educational staff not so much. Academics aside this school is an excellent school for children leaning towards the fine arts.

My expectations of this school were very high until my daughter went to school here. I knew it would be challenging; however, when she needed support and I needed support there was none. I asked for a conference with the Assistant Principal, the male one, and never even got a reply back from him. After many failed attempts to try to get my daughter back on track, I was informed that "Davidson isn't for everyone". My daughter is just as good as any other student there; however, there lack of support and fake facade they put on at this school put a very bitter taste in my mouth. Unless you are good being thrown to the wolves with no help and no assistance when needed. IF you want a magnet school I HIGHLY recommend RCTCM or AR Johnson.

Hey! Rising seventh grader here. This is a really great, cultural and diverse school. If you're willing to put your child in this school, watch out for the teachers who will call you over a single missing assignment from the beginning of the school year. Some will even say things about you that have nothing to do with the situation. One teacher called my mom over an unfinished assignment (which we were still working on, IN CLASS.) and then proceeded to rant about me wearing little tiny star stickers under my eyes (i kid you not). But besides that, counseling is okay here too and fine arts are great. If you're expecting a Michelin Star meal here, lower your standards and bring your own lunch. Thanks for reading my review, and if you audition, have a great time!
