Teachers do the best with what they have. I have 3 children who attend this school. Only 2 have had a good experience. My middle child who is in 4th grade I can't say that has been the same. The teachers for this grade are failing the students and something needs to change, when all students are failing or have low grades it is not the children but the educator. I have been in contact with the office but there is only so much that can be done, unfortunately.

So I sincerely wanted the school to see this feedback because I think it's ridiculous, absurd, that you can't use backpacks and they only allow one folder, and days later they forbade the use of the folder, and the folder costs 30 dollars, meaning a waste of money. And you know why? Because there are delinquent students who steal computers from the school and everyone gets the blame. I think yes, they should allow backpacks to school, but the children have to stop being delinquents and the teachers have to pay more attention. Thank you.

My experience at Davenport High School was overall disappointing. The academic environment lacked real engagement, with many teachers showing little interest in their students' learning. Assignments were often submitted without ever being reviewed, yet students frequently received perfect scores regardless of the effort or quality. Most instruction consisted of reading directly off PowerPoint slides followed by an online quiz, with minimal interaction or meaningful teaching.Beyond the classroom, the school's leadership was just as disorganized. The principals, deans, coaches, and athletic directors often seemed to be operating in opposition to one another—frequently butting heads and sending mixed messages to students. This lack of unity created confusion and inconsistency across the school. There was also a noticeable culture of favoritism, with certain students being given clear preference, especially in athletics and extracurriculars, while others were overlooked or unsupported.Overall, there was very little sense of community or care at Davenport High School. Students who needed help often didn’t receive it, and the environment felt more fragmented than collaborative. I would not recommend this school to anyone looking for a supportive, cohesive, or academically serious environment.
