Davis Elementary School

Summary:

Davis Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Gassaway, West Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 152. The school is part of the Braxton County Schools district, which is ranked 41 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Davis Elementary School has experienced a fluctuating performance in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the years. The school ranked as high as 13th out of 399 West Virginia elementary schools in 2016-2017, earning a 5-star rating. However, its ranking has since declined, with the school currently ranked 303rd out of 368 elementary schools and rated 1 star out of 5 for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in state assessments, is generally lower than the Braxton County Schools district and the state average across various subjects and grade levels.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Braxton County Schools district and the surrounding region, Davis Elementary School's performance is generally lower, with some schools, such as Sutton Elementary School, significantly outperforming it across various academic measures. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (55.23% free/reduced lunch recipients in 2020-2021) may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges, and addressing the unique needs and barriers faced by these students could be a crucial step in improving overall school 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.
