Summary

Davis Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Columbus, Georgia, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 292 students. The school is part of the Muscogee County School District, which is ranked 155 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio at Davis Elementary, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Georgia, with proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessment significantly below the Muscogee County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's statewide ranking has ranged from 1104 to 1237 out of 1205 to 1238 schools over the past 10 years. Additionally, Davis Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 96.57% to 100% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

When comparing Davis Elementary to nearby schools in the Muscogee County School District, such as Clubview Elementary and Hannan Elementary, it becomes clear that Davis is an outlier in terms of academic performance, with the nearby schools having significantly higher proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessment and higher statewide rankings. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Davis Elementary, ranging from $9,762 to $10,967 over the past few years, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that a more comprehensive approach may be needed to address the school's underlying issues and support student success.
