Research Davidson Magnet School public Schools in North Augusta, South Carolina

“Graduated 2006 and I loved it...many values that are instilled in me today I learned from my instructors at DFA!”

“This is the greatest school ever! I am in my first year here and have loved every minute. Davidson deserves all its recognition as one of the best schools in Georgia!”

“They attend Davidson and truly enjoy the environment. Students want to learn and are engaged in lessons being presented. The fine arts programs are awesome! I am proud of my child for putting forth so much effort, and it has been a challenging learning experience this year. Some of the teachers didn't bother to make the transition period for the students less stressful. These students were bombarded with homework, and some of it was never checked. There is a lack of concern from some of the teachers to help students who may not fit their expectations of a Davidson student, so therefore these students may feel they are not valued, or a decision is made to return to their zone schools feeling they were not good enough for Davidson.”

“This is an excellent school however the support of the staff for students that struggle is minimal. Davidson is very protective of its reputation and should do a little more to assist students. The chosen tactic of the new principal is to threaten removing the child from the school which often causes panic and stress in students. Davidson is a great choice however be prepared for letters 'reminding' you that it is a privilege to attend and not much support for those that are not the cream of the crop.”

“Davidson Fine Arts is on of the top magnet schools in the country. It has recieved multiple awards for many things such as, School of Excellence, The Blue Ribbon School,and the Grammy award. It is a college prep school therefore students will be prepared and know what to expect when they further their education in college. The fine fine arts areas include music, dance, drama, and art. The different departments go on trips to compete and share their talents with others. The drama department has just returned from Scotland where they performed 'Dark of the Moon' and recieved four stars out of five. Also every year the band and orchestra department attends Fiestaval which is held in different states.They compete against other schools from many different states.Last year both groups brought back the award for the highest scores. As far as parent involvement, there are multiple parents that help out.”

This school has been named the Grammy Signature school of 2003-2004. This school takes no slake from the students at all.
