Summary

Davidson Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 408 students in the San Bernardino City Unified school district, an area where many families face economic challenges.

Academically, the school has a low overall state ranking but is on a promising upward trend, having improved significantly over the past few years. It shows particular strengths in teaching English Language Learners and Hispanic students, outperforming many nearby schools like Rio Vista Elementary and Graciano Gomez Elementary in English language arts. However, performance varies, with science scores and outcomes for special education students being notable areas for growth. The school has also made impressive progress in reducing chronic student absences, which appears connected to its recent academic gains.

When compared to other local schools, Davidson presents a mixed picture. It performs better than some neighbors with similar demographics but lags behind others like Riley Elementary in math. Its per-student spending is in the middle of the pack for the area, and while it trails higher-spending schools like Manuel A. Salinas Creative Arts Elementary, it performs similarly to its closest neighbor, George Brown Junior Elementary. For parents, Davidson is a school showing clear improvement with specific programs that work well for many students, though it continues to work on challenges common to the district.
