Summary

Edgar B Davis is a K–8 school in Brockton, MA, serving 1,009 students — the largest school in this comparison and the only one that includes middle grades. Its district ranks 329th of 351 Massachusetts districts (6th percentile, 0 stars), among the lowest-ranked in the state. The school itself ranked 816th of 899 schools statewide in 2025–2026 (9th percentile, 0 stars), and over the past decade its percentile rank has ranged from 5 to 14, never rising above the bottom 15% of Massachusetts schools.

Within Brockton it is not the lowest performer — 4th of 7 in ELA, 2nd of 7 in math, and 4th of 7 in science among same-district peers including Mary E. Baker School, Louis F Angelo Elementary, Downey, John F Kennedy, Dr W Arnone Community School, and Gilmore Elementary School.

Early elementary math is a clear weak spot — 3rd-grade math is 11.21% vs. district 17.24% and state 42.19%.

Open Quote Both of my children have had great experiences at the Davis through academics and extracurricular activities over the past 10 years. The teachers take much pride in their teaching and their students. The principal is wonderful, she has her finger on the pulse of the school and her decisions have always been in the best interest of the students and staff.

I have been involved with the PTA for 10 years and I am sad to say that this is my last year as my daughter will be moving on to high school. This group of dedicated women and men are an inspiration to all and I am happy to have been a part of something bigger than I could have imagined.

All of these things and more are why The Davis K-8 is a treasure of Brockton's south side. Close Quote
