Summary

Davis Bilingual Magnet School is an elementary school in Tucson, Arizona that serves grades PK-5 and has 304 students. As part of the Tucson Unified District, which is ranked 208 out of 289 districts in the state, Davis Bilingual Magnet School has consistently outperformed the district and the state of Arizona in standardized test scores across grade levels and subject areas.

With a relatively high per-student spending of $8,336 in 2019-2020 and a lower student-teacher ratio ranging from 14.5 to 17.3 students per teacher, Davis Bilingual Magnet School appears to have access to more resources and funding than other schools in the district. This may be a key factor in its academic success, as it outperforms nearby Manzo Elementary and Safford K-8 School, which are in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools.

As a bilingual magnet school, Davis Bilingual Magnet School likely attracts a diverse student population and focuses on providing a dual-language education, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance compared to other district schools. While the school performs particularly well for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, its performance for English Language Learners and multi-racial students is in the bottom quarter of the state.
