Summary

Layton High is a large public school in Layton, Utah, serving grades 10–12 and enrolling 2,231 students. Located in the Davis District, it serves a diverse suburban community and is a traditional comprehensive high school. Its 2025–26 statewide ranking was 73rd of 139 schools, placing it at the 47th percentile—a significant recovery from 103rd of 138 schools and the 25th percentile the previous year. Locally, it currently ranks below Davis High and Syracuse High, but slightly above Clearfield High and well above Northridge High.

Layton’s completion outcomes are reassuring. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 92.8%, above Utah’s 89.8% and close to Syracuse High’s 92.9%, while the dropout rate was 4.5%, well below the state’s 8.5%. Attendance is the clearest concern: 26.3% of students were chronically absent, compared with 18.6% across the district and 23.8% statewide. This was better than Clearfield High and Northridge High, but notably higher than Davis High’s 15.7%. Academically, math is Layton’s strongest area. In 2025–26, 35.7% of 10th graders met the math standard—nearly matching the district and exceeding Utah’s 29.4%. Math improved 12.7 percentage points from the prior year, while science rose 9.2 points. English language arts remained essentially flat at 41.9%, below both district and state results.

For parents, Layton appears to be a middle-performing local high school with meaningful recent momentum rather than a consistent top performer. Its math gains and strong graduation rate are positives, while ELA, science, and chronic absenteeism deserve continued attention. Results for low-income students and students receiving special education services also remain areas for additional support, even though subgroup performance improved from the prior year. Staffing may be another consideration: Layton had 26.7 students per teacher, a relatively high ratio among nearby large comprehensive schools. Overall, the school’s recent rebound is encouraging, but sustaining academic gains and reducing missed school days will be important to its continued progress.
