Summary

Anna K. Davie Elementary is a Pre-K through 6th grade school in downtown Rome, Georgia, serving 413 students in the Rome City district, where every student qualifies for free or reduced lunch. This school has quietly become one of the most improved elementary schools in the region, climbing from the bottom 3% of Georgia schools in 2018-2019 to the 30th percentile today—a jump of more than 340 spots in the state rankings over seven years.

The most dramatic change at Anna K. Davie has been in attendance. Chronic absenteeism has plummeted from 26.6% in 2022-2023 to just 5.6% in the most recent year—less than one-third of the state average (17.7%) and far below the district rate (13.8%). This improvement is especially striking when compared to Main Elementary, a nearby school with similar demographics, where chronic absenteeism remains at 18.9%. The attendance turnaround appears to be fueling academic gains: math proficiency improved significantly in 3rd grade (from 24.5% to 33.3%) and 6th grade (from 15.8% to 28.6%), while 5th grade science proficiency more than doubled from 14% to 32.2% in a single year. The school also shows particular strength in serving its African American students, ranking in the 48th percentile for that group—well above the school's overall ranking.

Anna K. Davie benefits from a lower student-teacher ratio (11.6:1) and higher per-student spending ($18,413) than most peers, including West End Elementary ($12,360 per student, 15.1:1 ratio). While the school still trails higher-performing district schools like East Central Elementary (73rd percentile) and Elm Street Elementary (70th percentile), its consistent upward trajectory—including the largest single-year jump in its most recent data—suggests the school's focus on attendance and targeted instruction is working. For parents considering this school, the story is one of steady, meaningful progress in a high-poverty setting, with room to grow but clear momentum.
