Summary:

Davis District includes 17 public middle schools serving grades 7–9 and 17,191 students, with enrollment ranging from 630 at Bountiful Junior High to 1,551 at West Point Junior High. Overall performance varies widely: the district is ranked 45th of 92 Utah districts, while its schools range from among the state’s strongest to near the bottom of the statewide rankings.

The strongest overall choices are Shoreline Junior High, Kaysville Junior High, Centennial Junior High, and Fairfield Junior High. Each ranks around the top fifth of Utah schools and exceeds district proficiency levels across all nine current subject-grade comparisons. Millcreek Junior High is especially strong in ninth-grade English language arts and science, while Farmington Junior High stands out in science, including 66.1% eighth-grade proficiency. Mathematics shows the largest differences between schools: seventh-grade proficiency reaches 67.1% at Centennial and Fairfield but falls to 24.0% at North Davis Junior High.

The greatest concerns are North Davis and North Layton Junior High, which rank 194th and 184th statewide and have consistently low results. North Davis also has the district’s highest chronic absenteeism rate, at 30.9%, while North Layton combines low achievement with 20.0% absenteeism. South Davis Junior High has weakened recently, and Syracuse Junior High has a particular need in mathematics despite stronger science results. More encouraging trends appear at Bountiful, Legacy Junior High, and Centerville Junior High, all of which have improved their statewide rankings in recent years.
