Davis Elementary

Summary:

Davis Elementary is an elementary school located in Irving, Texas that serves grades PK-5 and has a student population of 833. The school is part of the Irving Independent School District, which is ranked 822 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending more per student ($10,110 in 2020-2021) than the state average, Davis Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 28.57% of 3rd grade students at Davis Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 34.52% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school has been ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 4191 out of 4675 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

When comparing Davis Elementary to other nearby schools in the Irving Independent School District, it becomes clear that Davis is one of the lowest-performing schools in the district. For instance, Haley T Elementary, which is only 2.66 miles away, outperforms Davis Elementary in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects. The racial makeup of Davis Elementary is also significantly different from the nearby schools, with a much higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students, suggesting that the school may be serving a more disadvantaged population, which could contribute to the lower academic performance.

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.
