Summary

South Davis Junior High is a public middle school located in Bountiful, Utah, serving grades 7-9 with a student population of 977. It is part of the Davis School District, which is ranked 42 out of 93 districts in Utah and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past several years, South Davis Junior High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a rank of 63 out of 172 Utah middle schools in 2017-2018 (3-star rating) to a rank of 120 out of 182 in 2024-2025 (2-star rating). This decline is a key differentiating factor, as nearby schools like Farmington Junior High, Centerville Junior High, and Millcreek Junior High have maintained higher rankings and ratings over the same period. Additionally, South Davis Junior High has particularly low rankings for its student subgroups, often ranking in the bottom quarter of Utah middle schools, which suggests achievement gaps and inequities within the school that need to be addressed.

Another key challenge facing South Davis Junior High is its high and growing chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 18.7% in 2020-2021 to 25.2% in 2022-2023. This is significantly higher than the district and state averages and is likely impacting student learning and achievement. The school's test scores in mathematics, science, and English language arts are also consistently lower than the Davis District and Utah state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, further highlighting the need for targeted interventions and a focus on equity to improve student outcomes at the school.
