Summary

Davis Elementary is a K-5 school in Carrollton, TX, serving 451 students within the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for serving a high-poverty population, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This economic context is a key factor in understanding the school's performance, which has historically been a 3-star school but recently dropped to the 57th percentile. The school faces significant challenges, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates in 2025-2026 were below district and state averages in every grade level (3rd: 38%, 4th: 47%, 5th: 42%). This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Rosemeade Elementary, which achieved 66% proficiency in 3rd grade math, and Rainwater Elementary, which achieved 69% in 4th grade math.

Despite these struggles, Davis Elementary has notable bright spots. In 5th-grade reading, the school achieved 66.67% proficiency, outperforming both the district (61.64%) and the state (58.47%). Additionally, the school's bilingual program is highly effective, with students consistently scoring higher on the STAAR Spanish Reading tests than district and state averages—for example, 4th graders scored 84% proficiency in 2024-2025. The school also shows exceptional support for its most vulnerable students, earning 4 stars for its work with Special Education and Low Socio-Economic Status students. However, a systemic weakness in science instruction across the district is evident, as Davis's 5th-grade science scores are alarmingly low (9.5% in 2024-2025), a problem shared by nearby schools like Blanton Elementary (13.9%) and Sheffield Elementary (9.2%).

The school's ranking history shows volatility, with a peak in 2015-2016 (69th percentile) and a recent low in 2020-2021 (33rd percentile), though it recovered to the 64th percentile in 2022-2023 before dropping again. A promising turnaround is seen for African American students, whose ranking jumped from the 6th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 60th percentile in 2025-2026. However, Davis is surrounded by schools with vastly different demographics and outcomes, such as McCoy Elementary (a 5-star school with 25% poverty) and Homestead Elementary (a 5-star school with 24% poverty), which score 30-40 percentage points higher in every subject. This proximity highlights the significant challenge Davis faces in overcoming the impact of concentrated poverty on academic outcomes.
