Davis Elementary School

Summary:

Davis Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Malone, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 563 students. The school is part of the Malone Central School District, which is ranked 813 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Davis Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in New York State Assessments for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 12.5% to 24%, compared to the state average of 42.6% to 47.05%. In Math, the proficiency rates ranged from 16.28% to 30.14%, compared to the state average of 48.93% to 58.03%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as special education students and students of low socioeconomic status. As a result, Davis Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

The nearby Flanders Elementary School and Saint Joseph's Elementary School, which are also part of the Malone Central School District, perform slightly better than Davis Elementary School on state assessments, but still lag behind the state averages. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, the increased spending per student has not translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that factors other than student-teacher ratio may be contributing to the school's underperformance. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the overall low performance of the Malone Central School District may be contributing to the challenges faced by Davis Elementary School.

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.
