Summary

North Davis Elementary is a highly-regarded K-6 public school serving 552 students in the strong academic community of Davis, part of the Davis Joint Unified district.

The school consistently ranks in the top tier of California elementary schools, with balanced strength in English, math, and science. A key standout is its very low rate of chronic absenteeism (9.3%), which is better than most nearby schools like Patwin Elementary and Fred T. Korematsu Elementary at Mace Ranch. North Davis achieves these strong results efficiently, spending less per student than some district peers while maintaining high achievement. It has also successfully maintained its academic performance despite a recent increase in the number of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

North Davis shows particular effectiveness in supporting male students and has a history of excellent outcomes for special education students. When compared to schools in the neighboring Woodland Joint Unified district, such as Spring Lake Elementary, North Davis performs significantly better. Within its own district, it solidly outperforms several schools but trails top performers like Pioneer Elementary. Areas for community attention include a notable performance gap between male and female students and outcomes for Asian students that are below the school's typical high standards.
