Summary:
Syracuse, Utah, has eight schools serving students in grades PK–12, including five elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and one alternative school. Together, they enroll about 8,705 students. Most schools are part of the Davis District, which ranks around the middle of Utah districts, while the two Syracuse Arts Academy campuses belong to the higher-ranked Syracuse Arts Academy district. School performance varies considerably, with elementary schools generally falling near the statewide average, a particularly strong charter elementary campus, and notable recent improvement at the high school.
Syracuse Arts Academy – North is the strongest overall performer. It ranks in the 81st percentile statewide, has a four-star rating, and leads the area in reported elementary test results, with especially strong mathematics and science scores. Cook School has shown the greatest recent elementary ranking improvement, while Buffalo Point School has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate. Other Bluff Ridge School and Syracuse School provide generally middle-of-the-range results, though performance differs by grade and subject. Science is the strongest common elementary subject, while fifth-grade ELA and sixth-grade mathematics are recurring areas of weakness.
Syracuse High posted the area’s most dramatic recent academic gains, especially in tenth-grade science, ELA, and mathematics. Its 92.9% graduation rate is above Utah’s rate, although attendance is a concern because chronic absenteeism is close to the statewide level. Syracuse Junior High has comparatively strong science results but significant mathematics weaknesses across grades 7–9. Syracuse Arts Academy – Antelope has the area’s lowest student-teacher ratio, though academic results were not provided. Overall, parents will find the strongest measured elementary academics at North, encouraging momentum at Syracuse High, and the clearest need for improvement in secondary mathematics and high-school attendance.
