Summary

Davis Elementary is a public elementary school in Garland, Texas, serving 471 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Garland Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 470 out of 961 districts in the state.

While Davis Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, it performs better in certain student subgroups, such as female students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, where it ranks in the top half or top third of Texas elementary schools. This suggests the school provides strong support for these populations. However, the school's overall performance on STAAR tests, particularly in mathematics and science, is generally below the Garland ISD and Texas state averages.

Nearby schools within the Garland ISD, such as Bradfield Elementary and Walnut Glen Academy for Excel, generally outperform Davis Elementary on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings. Additionally, O Henry Elementary, which is part of the Richardson ISD, also outperforms Davis Elementary. By addressing its areas for improvement, particularly in mathematics and science, and leveraging its strengths in supporting economically disadvantaged and English Language Learner students, Davis Elementary has the potential to enhance the educational outcomes for its diverse student population.
