Summary

North Davis Preparatory Academy is a public charter school located in Layton, Utah, serving 969 students in grades K-9. The school's performance data reveals some areas of concern compared to nearby charter schools in the region.

North Davis Preparatory Academy has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 30.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than state averages across various grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates in RISE Mathematics ranging from 18% to 37.4%, compared to the state averages of 36.4% to 49.6%. Similar patterns are observed in RISE Science and Utah Aspire Plus assessments. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 17.02% to 25.52%, and a higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby Ogden Preparatory Academy, Davinci Academy, Quest Academy, and Highmark Charter School.

While the higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores at North Davis Preparatory Academy may be influenced by the school's higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, the data suggests that the school could benefit from targeted interventions and strategies to address these areas of concern. By improving attendance, providing additional academic support, and exploring ways to better support students from disadvantaged backgrounds, North Davis Preparatory Academy may be able to enhance the educational outcomes for its students and better serve the local community.
