Summary

Marie G Davis School is a public magnet elementary and middle school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving 334 students in grades K-8 within the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district.

Despite being a magnet school, Marie G Davis School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in mathematics and reading that are significantly lower than their peers. The school has been ranked in the bottom 15% of North Carolina elementary schools for the past several years, indicating systemic challenges that need to be addressed. Performance also varies greatly among different student subgroups, with male students, as well as those from minority and low-income backgrounds, performing notably worse than their counterparts.

In contrast, other magnet schools in the area, such as Myers Park Traditional Elementary and Park Road Montessori, have demonstrated that the magnet school model can be effective in improving academic achievement when implemented with fidelity. Understanding the practices and resources of these higher-performing schools may provide valuable insights for improving the educational outcomes at Marie G Davis School, which serves a student population with an extremely high concentration of poverty.
