Summary

Davis Elementary School in Trenton, GA, serves 259 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Dade County school district, and it has earned a strong reputation as a top-performing school in northwest Georgia.

Davis Elementary stands out most for its exceptional mathematics achievement. In the most recent testing year, 5th graders posted a 73.7% math proficiency rate—nearly 30 points above the state average and over 20 points above the district average. Third and 4th graders also outperformed state averages by 15.5 and 10.4 points, respectively. This math strength has been consistent for years, with 3rd grade proficiency staying above 63% for four straight years. The school also excels in science, with 5th graders hitting 47.4% proficiency, above both district and state averages. Perhaps most impressive is the school's dramatic improvement in attendance: chronic absenteeism dropped from 28.2% in 2023-2024 to just 13.0% in 2025-2026—now well below both district (19.5%) and state (17.7%) averages. This improvement coincides with a rise in the school's statewide ranking from 367th to 240th (80th percentile), earning it a 4-star rating.

What makes Davis Elementary particularly noteworthy is how it achieves these results. The school serves a student body where 68.7% qualify for free/reduced lunch, yet it outperforms many schools with far lower poverty rates. For example, Chickamauga Elementary School has just 27.4% free/reduced lunch but posts similar math scores. Davis also outperforms its district counterpart, Dade Elementary School, by 28.5 points in 5th grade math despite similar demographics and resources. With a favorable 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $14,103—less than several lower-performing schools in the region—Davis demonstrates efficient resource use and effective instructional strategies. While English Language Arts scores for the current year will be released in December, historical data shows the school performing above state averages in most grades. For parents seeking a school with strong math foundations, improving attendance, and consistent results, Davis Elementary is a standout choice.
