About Us

Davis Primary School

  Davis Richmond is one school on two campuses spanning grades K – 5. Davis Primary is the K-2 site currently serving 500 early childhood and primary students. Richmond Intermediate is the 3 – 5 site also serving approximately 500 students. Our two buildings are located within a nine block area at the center of St. Charles. Davis Richmond is one of eleven elementary schools in St. Charles School District 303.


At Davis, Literacy is PRIMARY. Our goal is to develop independent, motivated, and persistent readers and writers who . . .

  • Apply word and comprehension strategies effectively to understand text.
  • Read and write across genres for a variety of purposes.
  • Find, evaluate and apply information in new ways.
  • Develop literacy appreciation and a belief in self, as they become capable literacy learners who choose to read and write for information and enjoyment.


To accomplish this, we are committed to engaging students as learners, challenging our teachers to be leaders in literacy, and inviting parents to be partners.


Beyond Davis

As students move from 2nd to 3rd grade, they will attend the Richmond Intermediate Campus located just nine blocks north and west of Davis Primary.

Upon graduation from elementary school, students will attend either Thompson or Wredling Middle Schools.


Students will then rejoin old Davis Richmond Friends at St. Charles East for High School, just three miles east of us. Transition and transportation opportunities are provided as students progress through these levels.
