Summary

Sunset School is an elementary school located in Sunset, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 297 students. 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. However, Sunset School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the recent school years.

One of the key challenges facing Sunset School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20% to 25.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's test scores in RISE Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are consistently lower than the Davis District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23.4% of 4th graders, 26% of 5th graders, and 14.1% of 6th graders at Sunset School were proficient or better in RISE Mathematics, compared to the district averages of 51.5%, 45.7%, and 38.1%, respectively.

When comparing Sunset School to the nearby schools within the Davis District, such as Holt School, Wasatch School, Fremont School, and Clinton School, Sunset School consistently underperforms in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism, and overall school rankings. This suggests that Sunset School may face unique challenges that the other schools in the district do not.
