The buses are 45 min last in the morning and afternoon in the beginning of the school year. During the school year it's just a frequent surprise. The children are subjected to extraordinary long days in extreme weather. Parents especially single patent just given it is what it is explanation. Funds need to be allocated to stop this clown show.

This school is amazing. I believe it ranks as one of the most diverse schools in the state and the staff go out of their way to celebrate that diversity all year long. Considering the large number of ESL students I would love to see Spanish language and ESL programs to further facilitate learning experiences of both Spanish and English speakers, but the faculty are still amazing and literally every one I've spoken with has been warm and supportive regarding any concerns I've had. You really get the sense that the kids are excited to participate and that inclusiveness is a core value of the school. My kids enjoy AM Davis more than Summer Camp, which is something I've never heard before!

This is our first year at Davis. We have a daughter in the first grade, and so far our experience has been good. Coming from a small private school for kindergarten, we were concerned about transitioning into public school. We have been very happy with her teacher and all the staff seems very plugged in with the kids. There are lots of opportunities to get involved with the PTA, and volunteering in the school. My daughter is very happy at school, and is enjoying the social aspects have a larger environment. There are 21 kids in her class; it would be nice if classes were a little bit smaller, or at least had an aide. They do have reading Specialists who help kids who need it. There is very little individual attention for kids who are not struggling. The main things our daughter complains about are noise levels in the classroom and during activities. Its a more chaotic environment than what she's used to, but she has adjusted, and is excelling academically. Teachers and staff really go out of their way to recognize and reward good behavior and achievement. Overall, for us, the pros outweigh the cons. Our daughter is learning to thrive in an environment that is not always perfect, but that is filled with teachers who are passionate and want to be there and classmates from all economic backgrounds.

I love it. Because AM Davis is the perfect school for my three children. The oldest one start fourth grade and five grade. My daughter is on fourth grade and my little one on second grade. The teachers are great especially Mrs. Ragland because she was my baby's teacher for two years on especial education. Thank you everyone for this awesome school and staff.

We love our school! My 3rd child to go through A.M. Davis is now a 4th grader. We have had excellent teachers and caring support staff. Nothing but positive experiences with this school!

My child is a Kindergartner at A.M. Davis this year. SHE LOVES IT! She has a wonderful teacher who is very encouraging. In her own words ,"My teacher is fun, nice, and she teaches us in a kind way." She also tells me that the kids on her bus are nice, which was a HUGE worry of hers going into school. As a parent I am thrilled with her progress this year. She is pretty much reading and we aren't even to the end of the year. She is grasping math concepts and singing songs that help her remember money and she loves getting on Edmodo to do the extra things her teacher posts on there.I also want to mention the resource teachers are great. The PTA is always planning events for parents to come to. Math nights, reading nights, pancake nights (which the weather cancelled), music by the chorus, and family nights at Cici's, Sweet frog and chick-fil-a. Over all I am happy. And look forward to seeing what this school has to offer next year.

Many of my friends children attend Davis and really love the communication provided with teachers and parents. I have had a chance to meet the staff and they are fabulous people. My daughter will be attending in the fall.

Outstanding school and teachers. Both of my children go to AM Davis and love it. Many schools throughout Chesterfield county are over rated and people overspend on houses to be close to those schools, when your children will get same quality education, if not better, at AM Davis.

I was very pleased with the staff and teachers. My daughters teachers always kept me informed about everything. I think all in all it is a good school. The only thing negative is that when I would have lunch with my daughter they did not seem to supervise the kids as well as they should have. the older kids would be yelling,pushing and shoving each other. I felt that that should have been addressed but otherwise I was very happy with the school. I wish we had not had to move because the school my daughter attends now has caused my child to hate school.

I am very happy with AM Davis and all the staff! We just recently moved and with the help from the staff, my kids made a great transition. Starting in the office the ladies are always willing to help with any questions or concerns you may have. The activities that have been offered from family game night, to the fall festival, have been a wonderful way for me to meet other families in the neighborhood. I am very happy with this school and think you will be too!
