We live in this community and have two young children in the school system here. We have had nothing but good experiences at the different buildings our kids have been at: Cardinal's Nest, Thomson, and Central. The teachers have all been wonderful-good at communication, easy to access/speak too, etc. Schools are in good repair and there is good upkeep on the grounds. I love how as parents the district leaders ask our opinions on wanted repairs, school upgrades, etc. We are happy campers here and highly recommend this district!
The academics are nice for advanced kids; there are accelerated programs all the way from grades 1-8 that lead to honors and AP classes in high school. With extracurriculars, boys sports (football) are favored. Girls sports and the arts are left underfunded. Davison doesn’t have a pool, so the swim teams must commute to kearsley. The band program is suffering; there is a dire need of new instruments and repairs. The auditorium desperately needs an upgrade. Overall the community does not seem to care about the arts. There is also a problem with the social aspects. There is an extreme issue with bullying and sexual harassment that the administration does a poor job of handling. Mental health is not taken seriously and there have been multiple students committing/attempting suicide in the last four years. The racism in this community is very bad. The amount of white children that say the N-word on a daily basis is appalling. LGBT+ students also face a lot of bullying and harassment.
Davison is a very open community where people help others which everyday problems within the school system. Teachers and coaches are there for students always offering advice and ways to help students and others. Davison helps younger children grow within the school system and not only advance, but excell in academics. Students enjoy supporting their sports and peers with every game and test that comes their way. The administration is well involved with students life and makes great decisions on how to run our schools. Parents get involved with sports, charity drives, and student life as well. All the parents want is a even better schooling system for their children, and others. I am a senior at Davison who has been at Davison from preschool, and I wouldn’t have wanted to go to any other school.
