Summary

Davis Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Malone Central School District in Malone, New York. The school has 560 students and has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past several years, receiving 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school is located in a district that is ranked 813 out of 874 districts in New York and is also rated 0 stars.

Davis Elementary consistently underperforms the state and district averages on New York State Assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 28% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA and Math, compared to the state averages of 54.15% and 59.7% respectively. This trend continues in 4th and 5th grades as well. The school also has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.27% in 2021-2022 to 54.82% in 2023-2024, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average, ranging from $14,303 in 2020-2021 to $28,351 in 2023-2024, the school's performance does not seem to improve.

Interestingly, the two other elementary schools in the Malone Central School District, Flanders Elementary and Saint Joseph's Elementary, also perform poorly on state assessments, with test scores similar to or slightly better than Davis Elementary. This suggests that the challenges faced by Davis Elementary are not unique and are likely systemic issues within the district. Additionally, Davis Elementary's performance on state assessments is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as special education students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
