Summary

A.M. Davis Elementary is a PK-5 school in North Chesterfield, Virginia, serving 708 students as part of Chesterfield County Public Schools. More than 75% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, placing it among the higher-poverty elementary schools in the county. The school's state ranking has declined from a 4-star rating a decade ago to its current 1-star rating, but recent test scores suggest a possible turnaround is underway.

One of A.M. Davis's most distinctive strengths is how well it serves students who are historically underserved. The school ranks significantly higher for its English Language Learners and economically disadvantaged students than its overall state percentile suggests. Chronic absenteeism is another bright spot: at 13.4%, it beats both the district (16.1%) and state (14.8%) averages and is lower than several nearby Chesterfield schools, including Reams Road Elementary (16.4%) and J.A. Chalkley Elementary (20.9%). Only Greenfield Elementary (5.3%), Bon Air Elementary (12.3%), and Crestwood Elementary (12.9%) have lower rates.

Math and science are improving rapidly. Fifth-grade math proficiency jumped from 28.9% in 2022-2023 to 66.4% in 2025-2026, and fifth-grade science now sits essentially at the state average. Reading remains the critical weakness, with grades 3-5 proficiency running 8-13 points below state averages. A.M. Davis outperforms nearby Elizabeth D. Redd Elementary, J.L. Francis Elementary, G.H. Reid Elementary, and Miles Jones Elementary in Richmond City Public Schools, and holds a stronger academic record than the Chesterfield Virtual School, located just down the road. Among Chesterfield schools with similar poverty levels, it sits in the middle—below Bon Air Elementary and Crestwood Elementary but above Reams Road Elementary and J.A. Chalkley Elementary. For families, the takeaway is a school with real momentum in math and science, strong attendance, and a clear focus area in reading.
