Summary

North Layton Junior High in Layton, Utah, is a public school serving 959 students in grades 7–9 within the Davis District. The school has a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 20.3 and serves a community with varied economic circumstances. Chronic absenteeism improved from 28.6% to 20.0% between 2023–2024 and 2024–2025, but attendance remains higher than at most nearby schools.

The main concern for families is academic performance. In 2025–2026, proficiency was below both district and Utah averages in every reported subject and grade, averaging about 28.9% across nine measures. The weakest results were 8th-grade math at 17.8%, 8th-grade ELA at 21.9%, and 9th-grade math at 24.0%. The school ranked 184th of 217 Utah middle schools, at the 15th percentile with a 1-star rating. This is a substantial decline from 2020–2021, when it ranked at the 52nd percentile. Low subgroup-effectiveness results also suggest that academic challenges affect several student groups and are not limited to the schoolwide average.

Nearby comparisons show that these results are not typical of the area. Shoreline Junior High, Centennial Junior High, and Fairfield Junior High have much higher academic results, while North Davis Junior High has a very similar overall proficiency profile. Other useful local benchmarks include Sunset Junior High, Syracuse Junior High, Legacy Junior High, and Central Davis Junior High. Encouraging signs include improved attendance and rising 9th-grade math proficiency, but 8th-grade instruction, academic recovery, and targeted use of staffing remain important priorities.
