The school is part of the San Antonio Independent School District, which is ranked 811 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Davis Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.
The school faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 31.01% African American, 65.5% Hispanic, and only 1.65% White, which is significantly more diverse than the state average.

The school's performance is particularly low for African American and Hispanic students, as well as for students with special needs, English language learners, and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
When comparing Davis Middle to other nearby schools, such as Hot Wells Middle, which is also in the San Antonio ISD, the academic performance gap is quite stark, with Hot Wells significantly outperforming Davis Middle across all subject areas and grade levels. Despite being a long-standing school, Davis Middle has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic performance or state rankings over the past decade, indicating a need for significant intervention and support to address the unique needs of its student population and improve outcomes for the community it serves.
