High Schools in Davis District

Davis District has 12 high schools serving grades 7–12 or 10–12, with about 18,757 students. Most enrollment is concentrated in nine large traditional high schools, while Vista Education Campus, Davis Connect 7–12, and Mountain High are smaller specialized programs that should be compared cautiously with comprehensive schools. Overall, the district ranks 45th of 92 Utah districts, and its traditional high schools generally post stronger graduation and assessment results than the state average.

Davis High and Farmington High are the strongest overall choices based on the available data. Davis ranks 17th statewide, has a 97.7% graduation rate, the district’s highest mathematics proficiency at 56.3%, and relatively low chronic absenteeism. Farmington ranks 16th, has a 98.4% graduation rate, and leads traditional schools in English language arts and science. Woods Cross High also stands out with the highest reported graduation rate at 98.7% and substantial ranking improvement. Viewmont High has strong graduation and mathematics results but declining recent ranking and ELA performance.

Syracuse High shows the most dramatic recent improvement, rising from 120th to 47th statewide while gaining significantly in all three tested subjects, though attendance, dropout, and mathematics remain concerns. Parents may want to look more closely at Clearfield High and Northridge High, which have weaker current achievement, higher absenteeism, and lower graduation outcomes. Layton High and Bountiful High show mixed results. The specialized programs—Vista Education Campus, Davis Connect 7–12, and Mountain High—serve different educational models, so their attendance, assessment, and graduation figures should be interpreted separately.
