GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Our son only attended Davenport for 1/2 of his first grade year due to a company move. We were a little disappointed with the academics. When we got to the next school, he was very much behind the other kids (this was partly due to his kindergarten school as well, which seemed right on par with Davenport). It took most of the rest of his first grade year to catch up.Our son has special needs, and you can't fault Davenport for trying to help him with that. They even had a wonderful person who helped him with things like handwriting in the classroom. One thing that stood out, the place just seemed crowded, badly. The pick up line after school is a joke. We lived almost a mile away (just inside of the 'no bus' zone, in fact), but most days I'd haul my twins in a stroller or wagon just to avoid the car pickup. They don't seem to be dealing with the growth aspect very well. The classrooms are really crowded.

"Nothing! This is no longer the friendly small town it used to be. It is now an "every one for themself" type of place. That is why I want to move some place else. "
