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 My child has learned so much this year! So many of the educators have taken the time to get to know my child and make him feel special. Close Quote

Open Quote Davis is a great elementary school, with a warm, welcoming, friendly feel. You will never meet a more welcoming, friendly office staff! The only minor negative is that Davis is an older school, with an outdoor campus, and could use some sprucing up. However, the excellent principal, very active PTA and caring teachers make this an excellent school. The administration cares about parent input and each child's needs, whether it is to be challenged or assisted with catching up, are addressed. This school is quite multicultural, and students are not only taught to respect diversity with words, but they live it everyday. My child had friends of many races, ethnic backgrounds and national origins at Davis. Close Quote

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.
