Nan Gray Davis Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of White (46.84%) and Hispanic (10.39%) students. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, with a ranking between 403-491 out of 680-695 schools over the past 7 years. Its test scores are generally lower than the Mobile County and Alabama state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 35.82% in 2023-2024, compared to 30.58% for Mobile County and 42.16% for the state. Additionally, Nan Gray Davis Elementary has a high percentage of students (77.8% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools like Hollingers Island Elementary and Pearl Haskew Elementary, Nan Gray Davis Elementary generally underperforms, with lower test scores, worse school rankings, and higher free/reduced lunch rates. The school's diverse student population and relatively high student-teacher ratio of 19.6 may be contributing factors to its underperformance. Addressing these challenges could be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and outcomes for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
