Summary

King School is an elementary school located in Layton, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 486 students. It is part of the Davis School District, which is ranked 42 out of 93 school districts in Utah and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Davis School District, King School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with test scores significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 6.9% of 6th graders at King School were proficient or better in Math, compared to 38.1% in the Davis District and 36.4% statewide. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 20.0% to 26.6% over the past 5 years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Creekside School, a nearby school within the Davis District, had a significantly higher percentage of 6th graders proficient or better in Math (52.7%) compared to King School (6.9%) in 2024-2025. This suggests that the academic performance of King School may be influenced by factors such as student engagement, teacher support, and targeted interventions for struggling students, rather than simply funding, as the school's spending per student ($8,393 in 2018-2019) is higher than some of the nearby higher-performing schools.

I feel like they pretend to care when you tell them your student is having problems with other students or teachers. But then nothing is ever done about it. My son is being bullied by other students and his teachers and whenever I have tried to talk with the principal first he takes forever to get back with you after the complaint. Then after you have spoke with him about your concerns nothing gets better. My son hates this school, most of his peers and the teachers. I wouldn't reccomend this place to anyone. The teachers and staff could care less about the kids. It's awful.:( Close Quote
