Summary

Davis (Caroline) Intermediate is a public middle school serving about 540 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Oak Grove Elementary district in San Jose, a school that has seen a notable decline in its statewide academic ranking over the past several years.

Key data shows the school faces significant challenges, particularly with chronic student absenteeism, which at 27.6% is much higher than at other schools in the same district like Bernal Intermediate and Herman (Leonard) Intermediate. Academically, proficiency rates in English, math, and science at Davis are substantially lower than these neighboring schools, despite all three having similar funding and class sizes. This creates a clear "within-district equity" question about why outcomes differ so much.

Interestingly, the school spends more per student than its district peers but has the lowest performance, and while it struggles overall, it has shown relative success with its English Language Learner students. Comparisons to other local schools, such as College Connection Academy and KIPP Heritage Academy, demonstrate that schools with similar levels of economic need can achieve strong academic results, suggesting the challenges at Davis may be related to specific factors like school climate, instructional practices, or how resources are used.
