Summary

Davis Middle in San Antonio, TX, is a small 7th-8th grade school within the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), serving 314 students in an area with extremely high economic need, where over 97% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most striking feature of Davis Middle is its exceptional performance with Special Education students, ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide in 2024-2025—a 4-star rating that surpasses every nearby school, including the higher-performing Krueger Middle. This is a dramatic contrast to the school's overall ranking, which has been stuck in the bottom 5% of Texas middle schools for nearly a decade. Another standout strength is Algebra I: 90% of Davis Middle students taking the End-of-Course exam were proficient in 2025-2026, compared to the state average of 54%, the highest rate among all nearby schools. This suggests the school effectively accelerates its highest-achieving math students, even as standard 7th and 8th-grade math scores remain critically low (e.g., 3.2% proficient in 7th grade math in 2024-2025).

Social Studies is a consistent area of weakness, with only 7.81% of 8th graders proficient in 2025-2026, far below the state average of 31.69%. However, the school has shown positive trends, including a declining dropout rate from 7.5% in 2020-2021 to 1.8% in 2023-2024. Notably, the separate Davis College Prep Middle (a 6th-grade campus at the same address) also struggles academically, indicating challenges begin before 7th grade. The school's success with Special Education students—a stark anomaly given its overall low performance—offers a powerful opportunity: understanding what works for that subgroup could be key to improving outcomes for all students.

Open Quote Being a former teacher at Davis Middle School there have been experiences that has led me to regret accepting a position at this campus. The environment at this school is completely unsafe, and that is due to the administration. The principal, Sharene Dixon, has neglected in supporting the teachers and the students. She has created an environment that is toxic and forced teachers to either resign or relocate to different schools. She was unprofessional during faculty meetings and even cussed at our employees. She has talked badly about teachers who she did not like and reassured to those that are closest to her that these teachers that she did not like, were not going to have a place next year. The teachers that she referred to were the most passionate people. They were passionate about the curriculum being taught and their students. She sets the example for bullying. There were times where she made the environment so hostile that some staff were intimidated to be in the same hall as her. Aside of providing intervention to students who needed it the most, she suspended them or even allowed arrests. She does not care about the students, and only cares for money and bullying others. The saddest thing is that there is so much more wrong doing... So I suggest and advise, for the safety of your child, do not send them to this school where she is in leadership. Close Quote
