We have some exciting news to share! For the third straight year, Nan Gray Davis Elementary School has increased our score on the annual Alabama Department of Education School Report Card! With this year's score of 84, we have improved our score by 10 points over the past three years. This score increase is the result of continued gains in Academic Achievement and Academic Growth (as measured by the Spring 2025 ACAP), as well as a continued decreased in Chronic Absenteeism. We are so incredibly proud of our students, teachers, staff, and entire school community!

A letter that provides more information about this report card, including how it is calculated and how parents can support our school's efforts, can be accessed at the following link: https://files-backend.assets.thrillshare.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/5395/Ngdes/3c41487d-8966-4cd5-943e-e796a8d28423/Report-Card-Parent-Letter.pdf?disposition=inline
