Summary:
Davis Elementary is a public elementary school in Plano, Texas, serving 288 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Plano Independent School District. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance lags behind district and state averages, particularly for Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students.
Davis Elementary's STAAR test scores are generally lower than the district and state, with proficiency rates ranging from 32.56% to 66.67% in math and 41.86% to 61.54% in reading, compared to the district's 57.25% to 66.81% in math and 63.32% to 71.19% in reading. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 892 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 2,367 out of 4,581 in 2021-2022. This indicates that the school's performance is not consistently strong, and achievement gaps exist within the student population, particularly for female students, ELL students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
When compared to nearby schools in the Plano Independent School District, such as Shepard Elementary, Christie Elementary, and Carlisle Elementary, Davis Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates and rankings. However, the school's spending per student, ranging from $10,971 to $12,556 over the past three school years, is higher than the state average, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.
