The school has an interesting history. Davisville PS was originally built as a two-room school in 1860 and named after the first postmaster of the Village of Davisville. The present school was built in 1962 and was the home of two separate and unique schools. In September 2002, Davisville Junior Public School and The Metropolitan Toronto School for the Deaf were twinned. Approximately 500 pupils are enrolled at Davisville PS. In September 2009 Davisville PS became a dual track school offering and English program (JK to Grade 5) and an Early French Immersion program (JK to Grade 6).
