The school's ranking has shown a sustained upward trajectory, climbing from the 60th percentile in 2017-2018 to the 87th percentile in 2025-2026, reflecting effective leadership and successful instructional strategies. While there is a slight dip in 5th-grade math scores (74%) compared to earlier grades, this is a minor concern within an otherwise stellar profile, making Leila Davis a standout choice for families seeking a high-performing, fiscally responsible school in the Clearwater area.
