Summary

H C Burton School is a PK–6 elementary school in Kaysville serving 687 students in the Davis District, an area with several highly ranked nearby elementary schools. The school remains academically solid, ranking 150th of 563 Utah schools in 2025–2026, in the 73rd percentile, with four stars. However, this is a notable decline from 53rd place and the 91st percentile in 2023–2024. H C Burton’s 9.17% free/reduced-price lunch rate suggests relatively low economic need compared with some nearby schools, while its 26.4 student-teacher ratio is higher than most local peers.

Testing results show broad strengths: H C Burton averaged 58.2% in English language arts, 55.5% in mathematics, and 63.5% in science across tested grades—above both district and Utah averages in each subject. Sixth grade was especially strong, with 74.3% in ELA and 79.5% in science. Third-grade mathematics and fifth-grade ELA and science were also positive. The main concern is fourth grade, where results were 35.6% in ELA, 47.1% in mathematics, and 44.8% in science. The fourth-grade ELA score was below both district and state averages, making this the clearest area for families to ask about when evaluating the school.

H C Burton performs well statewide but faces strong local competition. Its latest ranking trails Windridge School, Snow Horse School, Kaysville School, Knowlton School, and several other nearby schools, though it ranks ahead of Whitesides School, Morgan School, and Creekside School. Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism fell from 35.3% in 2021–2022 to 10.1% in 2024–2025, well below district and state rates and comparable to Windridge School. Overall, the school offers strong attendance and above-average academics, but families should pay particular attention to fourth-grade support, class-size pressures, and the recent ranking decline.
