Summary

Davis Elementary is a mid-sized school in the Austin Independent School District (Isd), serving 643 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in a neighborhood with moderate economic diversity, where about 30% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Davis Elementary has a solid overall reputation, consistently earning above-average state rankings, but it faces a significant challenge: its performance varies dramatically across different student groups. The school is a standout for its Special Education students, who ranked in the 84th percentile statewide, yet it struggles critically with students from low-income backgrounds, who ranked in the 1st percentile. This creates a "tale of two schools" dynamic that is much more pronounced than at nearby high-performing schools like Laurel Mountain Elementary (99th percentile) or Summitt Elementary (90th percentile). While Davis ranks in the 70th percentile overall, it is the lowest-ranked school among its immediate neighbors, suggesting it may not be adding as much academic value as expected given its demographic profile.

Another concern is the school's recent decline in upper elementary math, with 5th-grade proficiency dropping to 43%—below both the district and state averages. Additionally, performance for Hispanic and English Language Learner students has been volatile, indicating a lack of stable instructional programs for these groups. Despite a strong post-pandemic bounce, Davis has since regressed to pre-pandemic levels, unlike nearby schools that have maintained high rankings. The school's future success will likely depend on replicating its excellent support for Special Education students across all other populations.
