In TEA’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, released in August 2026, Davis Elementary earned an overall C with a score of 77, the same score as in 2024-25 and 2023-24. That follows a steady decline from an A (92) in 2021-22 to a B (85) in 2022-23 and then three straight years at a C (77).
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): C (77)

- Austin ISD (2025-26): B (81) district-wide
Under TEA’s scale, an A reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. Student Achievement, the share of students meeting STAAR standards, is Davis’s strongest area and edged up from a C (78) to a B (80) in 2025-26. School Progress held at a C (78), with Academic Growth at 78 and Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, at a D (66). Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups, slipped from 75 to a C (70). TEA has identified Davis for additional targeted support in both 2024-25 and 2025-26. Davis earned a Comparative Academic Growth distinction in 2021-22 and none in the years since.
