Summary

South Davis Junior High is a public school in Bountiful, Utah, serving grades 7–9 and enrolling 953 students in the Davis District. The school is in a relatively strong district, but its own results are considerably weaker: it ranked 161st of 217 Utah schools in 2025–26, placing it at the 26th percentile with a one-star rating. Its latest academic results were below both district and state averages in all nine reported grade-and-subject assessments.

Across grades 7–9, about 36.6% of students were proficient overall, including 36.8% in English language arts, 33.1% in math, and 40.0% in science. Eighth-grade math is the clearest concern, with 27.6% proficiency—13 percentage points below Utah—and the result has remained below 30% in each available year since 2022–23. Ninth-grade science was also particularly low at 37.2%, compared with 49.7% statewide. The gap is notable because nearby Millcreek Junior High, Centerville Junior High, Farmington Junior High, Mueller Park Junior High, and Bountiful Junior High all posted stronger overall results.

There are some positive signs. Chronic absenteeism fell to 16.3% in 2024–25, below both the district’s 18.6% and Utah’s 23.8%, so attendance does not appear to be the school’s main relative weakness. South Davis has a somewhat higher-need enrollment than most nearby peers, and its low socioeconomic status subgroup received a very low 1st-percentile effectiveness ranking, making targeted academic support an important priority. Parents may also find Bountiful Junior High an especially useful comparison: it had a similar low ranking in 2023–24 but improved to the 50th percentile by 2025–26. South Davis’s key needs are sustained improvement in math, science, and support for economically disadvantaged students while maintaining its attendance progress.
