Summary

Davis Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving 534 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 49 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Davis Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a 1-star rating.

Davis Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.9% to 37.5% over the past few years, compared to the Hillsborough district average of around 31.4%. Academically, Davis students consistently underperform compared to the district and state averages, with only 33% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 53% in the Hillsborough district and 57% statewide. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.4% to 82.85%, significantly higher than the Hillsborough district average of 64-79%.

When comparing Davis Elementary to nearby schools, it is clear that the school is one of the lower-performing in the area. For example, Horizon Charter School of Tampa, located just 2.74 miles away, consistently outperforms Davis Elementary across all academic measures. Despite spending more per student than the Hillsborough district average, Davis Elementary's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's performance.
