Summary

Davidson Middle School is a public middle school located in Crestview, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,154 students. The school is part of the Okaloosa School District, which is ranked 12th out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Davidson Middle School consistently performs above the Okaloosa district and Florida state averages in various standardized tests, including EOC (End of Course) exams, FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking), and Statewide Science assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Davidson Middle School had 92% proficiency in EOC Algebra 1, compared to 66% for the Okaloosa district and 60% for Florida state. The school also excels in EOC Geometry, with 100% proficiency, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, Davidson Middle School has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.5% to 31.4% in recent years, which is within the range of the nearby schools.

While Davidson Middle School's academic performance is strong, it serves a population with a higher socioeconomic need compared to the nearby schools, as evidenced by its relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.62% to 54.57% in recent years. This factor may contribute to the school's slightly lower academic performance compared to the higher-performing Okaloosa STEMM Center, a public magnet middle school that consistently outperforms Davidson Middle School and the district/state averages in academic metrics. Additionally, C.W. Ruckel Middle School and Shoal River Middle School, both public middle schools in the Okaloosa district, also demonstrate strong academic performance, with higher proficiency rates than Davidson Middle School in several subject areas.
