Kenneth Davis Elementary

Summary:

Kenneth Davis Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Mansfield Independent School District (ISD) in Arlington, Texas, with a diverse student population.

While Kenneth Davis Elementary has consistently ranked in the lower half of Texas elementary schools, its academic performance is a mixed bag. The school's STAAR test scores in reading and math are generally below the district and state averages, with significant achievement gaps among student subgroups. For example, the school's African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students tend to perform better than the overall school, while Hispanic, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students perform worse. Particularly concerning is the school's ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for Asian students in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools within the Mansfield ISD, such as Charlotte Anderson Preparatory Academy, Imogene Gideon Elementary, and Roberta Tipps Academy, Kenneth Davis Elementary generally underperforms on academic measures. The school also lags behind higher-performing schools in the neighboring Arlington ISD, such as Pearcy STEM Academy. While the school has seen some improvements in resource allocation, its performance has been inconsistent over the past decade, with no clear upward or downward trend.

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.
