Summary

Layton School is a public elementary school in Layton, Utah, serving 552 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade. Located on West Gentile Street, it is part of Davis District and offers a middle-of-the-local-pack academic experience. In 2025–26, Layton School ranked 325th of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it at the 42nd percentile. Its ranking has been fairly stable in the low-40th percentile range recently, but it remains below the 59th–63rd percentile levels reported before 2020.

Academic results are uneven by grade. Layton’s strongest areas are third-grade English language arts, with 54.7% proficient, and fourth-grade mathematics, with 59.2% proficient—6.5 points above the district average. The clearest concern is sixth grade, where only 30.3% of students were proficient in English language arts and 29.8% in mathematics. Science results were steadier but below district averages in all tested grades. Nearby Creekside School, Ellison Park School, Sunburst School, and Heritage School rank substantially higher and generally outperform Layton, especially in upper-grade subjects. However, Layton ranks well above Lincoln School, Vae View School, King School, and Crestview School.

Attendance is improving: chronic absenteeism fell from 34.7% in 2021–22 to 22.5% in 2024–25, though it remains above the district’s 18.6% rate and higher than several stronger nearby schools. Layton’s student-teacher ratio was 21.2:1, an improvement from the prior year but higher than at Ellison Park School and Heritage School. About 30.07% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, placing the school in the middle of the local comparison group. Overall, Layton appears stronger than the area’s lowest-ranked schools but trails its highest-performing alternatives; sixth-grade support, science, and sustaining attendance gains are the most important improvement priorities.
