Elementary Schools in Davison Community Schools

Summary:

The Davison Community Schools district in Michigan is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 4th grade. Overall, the district is performing well, with all 5 schools ranked in the top half of Michigan elementary schools by SchoolDigger.

Hill Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the best in the state. It has significantly higher test scores compared to the district and state averages, with over 60% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Math for 3rd and 4th grades. In contrast, the schools with the highest free and reduced lunch rates, Siple Elementary (65%) and Thomson Elementary (62.13%), may require additional resources and support to address the needs of their economically disadvantaged student populations.

While the district as a whole is performing well, there are some areas for improvement. All 5 elementary schools in the district have a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the variation in spending per student, ranging from $12,848 at Central Elementary to $14,625 at Hill Elementary, and student-teacher ratios, from 15.7 at Thomson Elementary to 19.6 at Hill Elementary, suggest that there may be differences in resource allocation and staffing that could impact student outcomes across the district.
