Davis Elementary School

Summary:

Davis Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Portland, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 373 students. The school is part of the Reynolds School District 7, which is ranked 137 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Davis Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Oregon elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 school years.

Davis Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 27% of 3rd graders, 19.5% of 4th graders, and 17.7% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 39%, 41.9%, and 46.9%, respectively. The school's mathematics proficiency rates are even lower, with only 25% of 3rd graders, 7.3% of 4th graders, and 6.6% of 5th graders meeting or exceeding standards. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking 62nd out of 87 Oregon elementary schools for this subgroup in 2022-2023.

When comparing Davis Elementary to other nearby schools within the Reynolds School District 7, the academic performance gap is evident. For example, Fairview Elementary, Hartley Elementary, and Salish Ponds Elementary all have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics than Davis Elementary, though they still underperform compared to state averages. The high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, including low-income and ELL students, may be contributing to Davis Elementary's poor academic performance, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique needs of its student population.

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.

Open Quote DIVERSITY is our STRENGTH! They major in such topics as English, Breakfast, and Lunch.

The school is very happy that my son goes there! He happens to be one of the few kids that can READ at the school.

If you are a father, and you voluntarily sent your son to school here?
Thank you!

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.
