Summary

Kenneth Davis Elementary is a K-4 school in Arlington, TX, serving 335 students as part of the highly rated Mansfield Independent School District (Isd), with a very favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 10.8:1 and over 73% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. While the school’s overall state ranking has fluctuated—recently sitting at the 41st percentile with a 2-star rating—it stands out as a top-tier school for its African American students, who ranked in the 71st percentile statewide (4 stars) in the 2025-2026 school year. This is a powerful strength that suggests effective strategies or a strong school culture for this group, making it a potential "hidden gem" for families seeking a supportive environment for their children.

However, the school shows significant volatility in performance across different student groups from year to year. For example, Gifted & Talented students ranked in the 92nd percentile in 2024-2025 but dropped to the 54th percentile the following year, while White students fell from the 57th to the 12th percentile in the same period. This "cohort effect" means that a single strong or weak class can dramatically shift rankings, making long-term trends more telling than year-over-year comparisons. Mathematics remains a persistent challenge, with only 36% of 3rd graders and 40% of 4th graders proficient in math—well below district and state averages—a trend that has held steady for four years.

Compared to its closest neighbor, D P Morris Elementary (0.98 miles away), which has a similar student profile and overall ranking (46th percentile), Kenneth Davis invests more in staffing with its lower student-teacher ratio but hasn’t yet seen a clear academic return. Nearby high-performing schools like Roberta Tipps Academy (79th percentile) and Carol Holt Elementary (88th percentile) have lower rates of economic disadvantage, highlighting a strong link between socio-economic factors and performance within the same district. Notably, Glenn Harmon Elementary—another nearby Mansfield school—jumped from the 5th to the 67th percentile in just one year, showing that rapid improvement is possible and setting a benchmark for what Kenneth Davis could achieve.
