Summary:

Davis Elementary is a public elementary school in Stockton, California, serving 327 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Lodi Unified School District, which is ranked 951 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Davis Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. The school's academic performance, as measured by the Smarter Balanced Assessments, is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20% of Davis Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 37.78% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school's performance in Mathematics is even more concerning, with only 13.79% of students proficient or better, compared to 27.66% for the district and 35.54% for the state. Additionally, Davis Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15% in 2018-2019 to 45.5% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the surrounding schools and the state average.

While Davis Elementary struggles academically, some of the nearby schools, such as Ansel Adams, George Lincoln Mosher, and Westwood Elementary, perform significantly better on standardized tests, with proficiency rates closer to the district and state averages. These schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and serve a lower percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be contributing factors to their better academic performance.

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.
