John R Davis School

Summary:

John R Davis School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Roosevelt Elementary District in Phoenix, Arizona, with a student population of 346 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with 81.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, John R Davis School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Arizona, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school has also seen a concerning increase in its dropout rate, rising from 0% in 2017-2018 to 5.1% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While the nearby schools in the Roosevelt Elementary District also struggle with low academic performance and high poverty rates, some schools, such as Valley View School, demonstrate slightly better academic outcomes and higher student-teacher ratios. Additionally, there are several public charter schools in the area, such as the Academy of Math and Science South Mountain and Reyes Maria Ruiz Leadership Academy, that outperform John R Davis School and the surrounding district schools on state assessments, providing alternative educational options for families in the community.

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.
