Davis Elementary

Summary:

Davis Elementary is a public elementary school in College Place, Washington, serving 734 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the College Place School District, which is ranked 126 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Davis Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with 50.27% White and 42.78% Hispanic students, which is more diverse than nearby schools like Waitsburg Elementary (83.33% White) and Prescott Elementary (28.8% White, 69.6% Hispanic). Academically, Davis Elementary has shown improvement, rising from a 1-star to a 3-star school, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math on par with or slightly above district and state averages. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.33% to 59.4%, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Davis Elementary is performing better than some lower-ranked nearby schools, it still lags behind higher-performing schools like Prospect Point Elementary in the Walla Walla Public Schools district. The school's focus on resource allocation, with a significant increase in per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, may have contributed to its academic improvements. However, there is still room for further progress, particularly in comparison to the region's top-performing schools.

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.
