I'm in 7th grade we are almost done with the first term it's been pretty good so far. The doors by the library are infested with some weird bug but if you just go in or out you are just fine, I go to the library every day and those are the doors I go in. I took all honors classes so it's a little more homework then the ragular classes, but almost all of your homework is something you did not finish in class.

Rude teachers, bullies, fights, and lack of integrity

Hi I'm going to be a new student in this school. I'm going into 7th grade. I just wanted to know the school supply list for 7th graders. Or when they're going to give the list. Are they going to give it on 7th Grade Cub Camp or the Back To School Night?

Can I just say that after meeting my daughter's teacher at Back to School night and at Parent Teacher Conference that I feel they have my child's best interest in mind.

I would put "just right" to "too much". However, my daughter is in two honors classes and other things that require a bit more time.

My daughters 7th grade English teacher, as well as some of the others, spoke to the students about plagiarism and doing their own work. The teachers are big on student accountability while also helping the student learn and master the assignments and content.

What an amazing school. My daughter attended a charter school for 1 year and we did not care that experience. We heard from our neighbors about Central Davis and the amazing honors and AP classes they offer and the incredible music program. Our daughter has love this school and has made some wonderful friends. Thank you Central Davis Faculty!!!

All of my children have attended, and one is still attending CDJH. They have participated in the schools Honor's Program and AP classes. The school has kept them challenged and engaged mentally, socially and physically. They have a great overall staff and a majority of teachers who are still excited to be teaching. The sports program is as good for the girls as it is for the boys. Being from out of state, I worried about my kids finding their place here in Utah; Central Davis Junior High has been a wonderful school and a place of inclusion for my children. They have not only learned, but grown, excelled and made lasting friendships. GO CUBS!

Overall I would rate this Jr. High as pretty average, with its downsides being more attributed to the student's attitudes rather than the staff here. I really enjoyed my experience at this school though. Classes: Art: 1/5 English: 5/5 Languages: 3/5 Sports: 5/5 Science: 1/5 Math:3/5 History: 2/5 Teachers: Only a few exceptional ones. Some don't care about their jobs at all and are very lazy. On administrators: I really liked the principle and the guidance counselors. My guidance counselor gave me good resources and helped me a lot. On bullying: Many times bullying was not noticed by administration and 2.) When it was reported it did continue, but I attribute this partially to the internet as well, which the school couldn't really control all that well. Drugs: A lot of kids do drugs here, be careful.

I was a student at this school.. My experience with this school was horrible...I only had a few friends and everyone started bullying me and even talking about me behind my back...I got bullied just for being different!

My kids were so worried about starting a new school this year, as was I. It has turned out to be a wonderful change in our lives.

I am not sure what this first individual is referring too that gave Central Davis a 1 star. I know for a fact that the principal and vice principals would NEVER let anything like what was described fly at this great school. This school is focused on safety, academics, and extracurricular.
