Summary

Davis Elementary School is a K–5 school in Portland, Oregon, serving 299 students within Reynolds School District 7. That district ranks 131st of 141 Oregon districts (7th percentile, 0 stars), and Davis itself ranks 660th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the bottom 7% of the state. Its rank history has been consistently bottom-decile, including 709th of 709 in 2017–2018 and 686th of 706 in 2024–2025.

The most striking local signal is attendance. Davis's chronic absenteeism was 49.8% in 2024–2025 — higher than the district's 45.3% and far above Oregon's 33.5%, and the highest among nearby schools, ahead of Salish Ponds Elementary School (48.4%), Hartley Elementary School (45.1%), and Fairview Elementary School (41.9%). Test scores trail the state in every subject. All-grades English Language Arts is 17.3% (below the district's 23.7%), while math at 14.1% and science at 15.4% are above district averages. Results vary sharply by grade: 4th grade ELA is 5.0% and 4th grade math is under 5%, yet 5th grade math reaches 24.5% — above the district's 11.8% and the highest among nearby schools.

Resources are relatively generous: $24,035 per student in 2024–2025 and a 13.9:1 student–teacher ratio, lower than Salish Ponds (15.0) and Rockwood Preparatory Academy (19.9). Still, outcomes and attendance remain weak, suggesting funding alone isn't solving the core challenges. Among student groups, English Language Learner students are the relative bright spot at the 29th percentile with 2 stars, while low-income students and gifted and talented students rank in the bottom tenth statewide. Nearby, Fairview Elementary School ranks better with higher ELA and math scores and lower absenteeism; Rockwood Preparatory Academy has much lower chronic absenteeism (30.6%) and higher ELA (28.8%) but lower math (11.0%).

Open Quote DIVERSITY is our STRENGTH! They major in such topics as English, Breakfast, and Lunch.

The school is very happy that my son goes there! He happens to be one of the few kids that can READ at the school.

If you are a father, and you voluntarily sent your son to school here?
Thank you!
