Davis Elementary

Summary:

Davis Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 651 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Austin Independent School District.

Davis Elementary is a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's STAAR test scores in reading, math, and science are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly for White and Asian students. However, there are significant achievement gaps, as the school's African American and Hispanic students lag behind their White and Asian peers. Davis Elementary has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (31.18%) compared to the district and state, and its per-student spending is higher, which may contribute to its academic success.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Hill Elementary and Kathy Caraway Elementary, Davis Elementary generally performs well, particularly in terms of overall academic achievement and the performance of its White and Asian student subgroups. However, some nearby schools outperform Davis Elementary in certain areas, such as STAAR reading and math scores, indicating that the school still has room for improvement, especially in addressing the achievement gaps between different racial/ethnic student subgroups.

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.
