Summary

Davisburg Elementary School in Davisburg, MI, is a mid-sized elementary school serving 391 students in grades PK-5 within the Holly Area School District, where just over half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

For parents, the most important thing to know is that Davisburg has shown strong academic potential but also significant year-to-year swings in performance. In the most recent school year, the school ranked in the 54th percentile statewide, earning a 3-star rating. However, test scores have been notably volatile—5th grade science proficiency, for example, jumped from 47.8% to 55.7% one year, then fell to 31.5% the next. A clear pattern emerges when looking at grade levels: 3rd and 4th graders generally meet or exceed state averages in reading and math, but 5th graders struggle, particularly in math, where only 25.9% were proficient compared to the state average of 32.2%. This suggests the school may be more effective in the early grades, with a possible drop-off by 5th grade. One bright spot is 5th grade social studies, where Davisburg has at times dramatically outperformed both its district and the state.

The biggest challenge facing Davisburg is chronic absenteeism. At 28.4%, the rate is nearly double that of nearby Clarkston Community School District schools like Independence Elementary School (8.6%) and Springfield Plains Elementary School (10.7%), and it has remained above 23% for several years. This high absenteeism, combined with a higher poverty rate than neighboring districts, helps explain why Davisburg's outcomes lag behind the top-quartile rankings of nearby Clarkston schools, even though Davisburg spends a comparable amount per student ($15,614). For parents, this means attendance is critical—ensuring your child is in school consistently is one of the most effective ways to support their success at Davisburg.
