Summary

Sunset School is a public elementary school in Sunset, Utah, serving 386 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade in the Davis District, an area with several nearby elementary schools offering useful comparisons. The school’s latest ranking was 506th out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it around the 10th percentile. This is a substantial decline from the 51st percentile in 2015–16 and the 13th percentile in 2024–25, indicating that the school’s challenges have developed over time rather than appearing only in the most recent year.

Academic results are below both district and state levels in most tested subjects. In 2025–26, ELA proficiency ranged from 20–39% in Grade 3 and reached 22.9% in Grade 4, 30% in Grade 5, and 27.5% in Grade 6. Mathematics was also weak, including 15.9% in Grade 4 and 10–29% in Grade 6. Science proficiency was 22.9% in Grade 4 and 37.5% in Grade 5. Grade 4 stands out as a particular concern because performance was low in all three subjects. The school’s 23.2% chronic absenteeism rate improved considerably from 39.2% in 2021–22, but remains above the district’s 18.6% rate. Nearly half of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio was 23.3 in 2024–25.

Nearby schools show that outcomes vary considerably across the area. Clinton School and Parkside School ranked near the 47th and 49th percentiles and exceeded Sunset in every reported subject, while Voyage Academy ranked at the 78th percentile. Holt School, Wasatch School, and Doxey School had similarly low overall results. These comparisons suggest a schoolwide need to strengthen literacy, mathematics, science, attendance, and grade-level instructional support, while recognizing that differences in family economic circumstances also affect comparisons.
