Davidson Magnet School

Excellent, so far. Two of my grandchildren have been in Davidson since 6th grade. This is truly a magnet school. It will challenge your child's ability and prepare them for college, if they are up for the challenge.

A 10 out of 10 experience academically and socially for my daughters who both attended Davidson. Teachers are very involved and responsive to parents and to students. The counselors have been awesome in directing my oldest daughter in applying for college and scholarships. The student body is extremely competitive and I believe that lends to a fire in students to do their best and it encourages them to be better and as a parent I think it's healthy to have that kind of energy around your aspiring student.

Davidson Fine Arts is a wonderful school! My daughter attends Davidson and she loves it! Davidson has wonderful teachers and staff!

Davidson Fine Arts is a wonderful school. It is open to students living in Richmond county by audition. Students must have 80% average in all classes to be eligible to apply.My daughter attended DFA 6th-12th and loved it!This school is academically challenging. AP courses are required in high school and lots of seniors are duel enrolled. Most students choose to pursue fine arts and specialize in some type of music, dance, theater, writing or art. The principal is very involved in all aspects of the school and the teachers are very supportive and involved as well. In spite of being supportive, academic teachers do not alter test schedules during performance weeks. Students must be capible of using their time wisely and managing stress. DFA has a competitive environment and enjoys success in every area. Good grades and artistic excellence are status symbols. There is a sense of family at DFA. Students are accepting of one another, staff is kind and encouraging and parents are welcome. The PTO is active and parent volunteers are in evidence at all events. While the focus of DFA extracurriculars are the fine arts, they do offer a few sports. DFA has a golf team, a swim team and a tennis tennis team. Students may also participate with the augusta rowing club. I cannot recommend this school highly enough.

Davidson is one of the top schools in the state. Fine arts is a major concentration, and it's incredibly challenging. The work load is much more than a normal public school, and these kids come out with great independence and social responsibility. I'll never let my kid go anywhere else for the next five years.
