Davey Elementary School

Summary:

Davey Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kent, Ohio, serving 438 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Kent City School District, which is ranked 319 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Davey Elementary has a diverse student population, with 68.26% White, 19.63% African American, 4.11% Hispanic, and 7.08% two or more races. The school has consistently performed well on Ohio State Tests, with higher proficiency rates than the state average in several subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Davey's 5th-grade students scored 74.5% proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 64%. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.2% in 2019-2020 to 23.1% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby Longcoy, Holden, and Walls Elementary Schools.

While Davey Elementary's overall academic performance is strong, the school's rankings for its special education and low socioeconomic status student subgroups are lower compared to its overall ranking. This suggests that the school may need to focus more on supporting these groups to ensure they are achieving at the same level as the overall student population. Nearby Woodland Elementary, part of the Stow-Munroe Falls City School District, has even stronger academic performance, providing a potential model for Davey to learn from.

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.
