Summary

North Davis Preparatory Academy is a large alternative public school in Layton, Utah, serving 966 students in kindergarten through 9th grade in a competitive group of charter and alternative schools in Davis and Weber counties.

One of North Davis’s clearest strengths is attendance. Chronic absenteeism fell from 32.4% in 2021–22 to 11.2% in 2024–25, well below Utah’s 23.8% rate. That was the second-lowest reported rate among the nearby schools in this comparison, tied with DaVinci Academy and just behind Renaissance Academy. North Davis also had better attendance than Quest Academy, Ascent Academies of Utah Farmington, Highmark Charter School, and Ogden Preparatory Academy. The school’s 27.85% free- or reduced-price lunch rate indicates a moderate level of economic need, while its 20.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio is somewhat high compared with many nearby alternatives.

Academic results are mixed and generally below Utah averages, especially in mathematics and the middle grades. Bright spots include 5th-grade math, at 46.4%, slightly above the state rate, 5th-grade English language arts at 45.4%, nearly matching the state, and 6th-grade science at 54.9%. Areas needing attention include 4th-grade math at 17.3%, 7th-grade science at 27.3%, 7th-grade ELA at 29.9%, and 9th-grade ELA at 26.5%. Quest Academy generally performed much better academically, while DaVinci Academy also outperformed North Davis in many subjects despite similar attendance. North Davis generally performed better than Ogden Preparatory Academy, whose absenteeism and test results were weaker. Overall, North Davis appears to have made major progress getting students to school; its next challenge is turning that improved attendance into stronger instruction and achievement, particularly in math and grades 6–9.
