State report card

Alabama grades every public school from A to F each year. The grade comes from a 100-point score built from students’ achievement and growth on state tests in English language arts and math, chronic absenteeism (the share of students who missed 18 or more days), progress in English language proficiency and, for high schools, graduation rate and college and career readiness, according to the Alabama State Department of Education’s report card rules.

2024-25 grade: D, 63 points. That compares with an F and 55 points on the 2023-24 card. Montgomery Public Schools as a whole earned a C, with 75 points. The state lists Davis Elementary as a Comprehensive Support and Improvement School, a federal designation that brings a school improvement plan.

Indicator 2024-25 score
Academic achievement (ELA and math tests) 32.08
Academic growth 85.46
Progress in English language proficiency 56.41
Chronic absenteeism (lower is better) 26.04% of students

Attendance zone

Check an address with the district’s school zone search, which Montgomery Public Schools links from its home page. Zones do not follow the city limits; the Town of Pike Road runs its own school system, Pike Road City Schools, and the tool flags Pike Road addresses. In the zone search, the Montgomery addresses zoned for Davis Elementary fall in the middle school zone of Bellingrath Middle and in the high school zone of Carver High. We checked about 1,640 points across the Montgomery city limits in the tool on Oct. 17, 2026; zones can split streets, so check your own address.

Because Davis Elementary is a conversion charter school, families who live in its attendance zone may opt out and enroll in a traditional Montgomery public school instead; the district suggests T.S. Morris Elementary or Johnson Elementary, according to its charter schools page. The district’s Director of Strategy and Innovation, Marsha Horton, handles opt-outs at 334-223-6927.
