Summary

Marguerite Montgomery Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 457 students in the high-performing Davis Joint Unified district, notable for serving a student population with a higher level of economic need than many other schools in the area.

The school performs near state averages in core subjects, which is a significant achievement given its demographics, and shows particular strengths in mathematics and in supporting its special education students, who perform well above average. However, test scores show a noticeable decline in the upper grades, and there are substantial performance gaps between different groups of students, indicating that while the school serves its overall population adequately, some students face greater challenges. The school has the highest per-student spending among nearby Davis schools, which likely supports its higher-need population, and it is showing positive trends like reducing chronic absenteeism since the pandemic.

When compared to other schools in Davis like Robert E. Willett Elementary or Pioneer Elementary, Montgomery's test scores are lower, but those schools serve far fewer economically disadvantaged students. Within its own district context, Montgomery is a lower-performing school, but its results are strong compared to average schools in neighboring districts like Washington Unified or Woodland Joint Unified.
