Female students at Davis Elementary outperform male students, and Asian and White students generally perform better than their African American and Hispanic counterparts.

When compared to nearby schools in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, such as McCoy Elementary and Rosemeade Elementary, Davis Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students and a lower percentage of White students. It also generally lags behind these higher-performing schools in overall academic achievement, despite outperforming the district and state in some areas. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and lower spending per student compared to some of its counterparts may contribute to these performance gaps, highlighting the need for targeted support and interventions to address the unique challenges faced by the Davis Elementary community.

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.
