Summary:
The Davis District in Utah is home to 17 middle schools serving grades 7-9, with student enrollment ranging from 617 to 1,558 students. The district as a whole is ranked 42 out of 93 districts in Utah and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. While the district faces some challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%, a few standout schools shine with exceptional academic performance.
Shoreline Junior High, ranked 28th out of 182 Utah middle schools and rated 4 stars, consistently achieves high test scores, with 67.9% of 7th graders and 56.2% of 8th graders proficient or better in RISE Mathematics. Kaysville Junior High, ranked 22nd and also rated 4 stars, excels in math with 65.9% of 7th graders and 65.3% of 8th graders proficient or better in RISE Mathematics. Centennial Junior High, ranked 38th and rated 4 stars, maintains well-rounded high performance across math, science, and English language arts.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools, particularly in math and science. Schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as North Davis Junior High and North Layton Junior High, tend to have the lowest test scores, suggesting a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. Understanding these patterns can help the Davis District develop strategies to support all students and address the performance gaps observed.
