As part of the Pinellas County School District, which is ranked 23rd out of 68 districts in Florida, Leila Davis consistently outperforms the county and state averages in academic performance.

Leila Davis Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and multi-racial students compared to nearby schools like Garrison-Jones Elementary, Academie Da Vinci Charter School, and Curlew Creek Elementary. In the 2023-2024 school year, Leila Davis had impressive proficiency rates in Statewide Science, FAST English Language Arts, and FAST Math, outpacing the county and state averages.

Leila Davis Elementary has been a standout institution, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Florida elementary schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. This sustained high performance is likely due to the school's effective teaching practices, strong leadership, and increased per-student spending over the years. While Leila Davis outperforms the district and state, nearby schools like Garrison-Jones Elementary and Academie Da Vinci Charter School also demonstrate strong academic results, providing potential insights for Leila Davis to further improve its own performance.

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.
