Summary

Davis Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Portland, Oregon, serving 332 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Reynolds School District 7, which is ranked 133 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Davis Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Oregon, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 18.6% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42.1% statewide and 20.2% in the district. Similarly, in 5th-grade mathematics, only 13.6% of students were proficient or better, compared to 31.3% statewide and 14% in the district. Additionally, Davis Elementary has extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 34.3% to 50.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

The nearby Hartley Elementary School and Salish Ponds Elementary School, both within the Reynolds School District 7, also perform poorly, with similar low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by Davis Elementary are not unique but rather systemic issues within the district. Despite the school's consistently low performance, there is no evidence of significant improvement over the past several years, indicating a need for more substantial interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve academic outcomes for the diverse student population.

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!
