Davis Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency.

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.
