Summary

King School in Layton, Utah, serves 442 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade and is part of the Davis District, in a generally established residential area with a mix of nearby elementary schools. For 2025–2026, King ranked 484th of 563 Utah elementary schools, at the 14th percentile and received one star. This was an improvement from the 8th percentile the previous year, but the school remains well below most nearby schools. In 2024–2025, 32.81% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic need compared with surrounding schools.

Academic performance is the school’s main concern. King trails the district average in every reported subject and grade. English language arts proficiency ranges from 41.8% in third grade to 27.2% in sixth grade. Math is weaker, falling from 37% in third grade to 19% in fourth grade, 14.3% in fifth grade, and under 10% in sixth grade. Science proficiency is between 23.1% and 29.4%, compared with district results above 55% in tested grades. King generally outperforms nearby Lincoln School, which ranks at the 2nd percentile, and is close to Crestview School. However, it trails stronger nearby schools such as Adams School, Creekside School, and Ellison Park School by wide margins.

There are some encouraging operational trends. Chronic absenteeism declined from 29.1% in 2021–2022 to 21.4% in 2024–2025, although it remains above the district’s 18.6%. King’s student-teacher ratio improved substantially to 18.8, one of the lowest among nearby schools, suggesting favorable staffing capacity. Still, that advantage has not yet produced comparable academic results. The most important questions for families are how the school is addressing upper-grade math, sixth-grade science and ELA, and whether it can sustain attendance gains. Overall, King appears to be showing modest recent recovery, but its longer-term performance trend and current achievement levels indicate that a broad academic turnaround is still needed.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, March 6, 2020

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
