Summary

Davis Elementary School in Columbus, GA, serves 387 students in grades K-5 within the Muscogee County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Davis Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with math proficiency rates in the most recent testing year ranging from 7.8% to 15.3% across grades 3-5, compared to state averages of 44-50%. Science proficiency was 16.9% versus the state's 44.2%. The school ranks in the 1st percentile statewide, placing it in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools. Nearby schools show markedly different results—Clubview Elementary School (2.62 miles away) ranks in the 59th percentile with math proficiency rates of 43.9-47.7%, while Downtown Elementary Magnet Academy (1.86 miles away) ranks in the 64th percentile with 5th grade math proficiency of 56%. The gap between Davis and these nearby schools has widened over recent years.

There are some positive developments worth noting. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 38.1% in 2021-2022 to just 11.7% in 2025-2026—now better than both the district average (19.5%) and state average (17.7%), and the second-lowest among comparable schools. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.1:1, better than Clubview (14.8:1) and Downtown Magnet (14.9:1). Special education students rank in the 10th percentile statewide, which is the school's strongest subgroup performance and suggests potential strengths in that area. However, test scores show significant year-to-year volatility, and despite improved attendance, academic performance has remained stagnant. The school spends $15,460 per student, less than nearby Hannan Elementary ($19,254) and Brewer Elementary School ($20,971), yet achieves comparable outcomes to some higher-spending schools in the area.
