Summary

Orchard School is a public elementary school in North Salt Lake, Utah, serving 630 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Davis School District, which is ranked 42 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Orchard School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, it faces some challenges compared to nearby high-performing schools. The school has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.0% to 28.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of schools like Valley View (23.8%) and Boulton (23.8%). Orchard School's test scores in mathematics and science are also generally lower than the Davis District and state averages, particularly in the lower grades, though they perform better in the upper grades.

However, Orchard School has some strengths, such as a relatively low percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 12.72% to 17.94% over the past few years, lower than nearby schools like Bountiful (26.02%) and Adelaide (42.08%). Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has decreased from 24.7 in 2021-2022 to 20.2 in 2023-2024, which is lower than the ratios of some nearby schools.
