Summary
Tolman School is a relatively small PK–6 elementary school in Bountiful, Utah, serving 363 students in the Davis District. Its current profile is strong and improving: Tolman ranks 136th out of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 76th percentile with a four-star rating. Its statewide standing has risen substantially, from the 48th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 76th percentile in 2025–2026. Locally, it ranks approximately fourth behind Stewart School, Valley View School, and Oak Hills School.
Academic results are generally above district and state averages. English language arts proficiency exceeded both benchmarks in every reported grade, including 63% in third grade and 55% in sixth grade; fifth-grade ELA was reported as a range of 60–78%. Mathematics is especially strong in third grade, at 69.5%, and fourth grade, at 62.8%. Sixth-grade math was modestly above district and state results at 43.1%, although it remains an area to watch. Fifth-grade math, reported as 30–48%, is less certain and may be below, near, or above comparison levels. Fourth- and sixth-grade science were also above district and state averages, while fifth-grade science, reported as 40–58%, warrants monitoring. Compared with nearby schools, Tolman is generally stronger than Bountiful School, Woods Cross School, Meadowbrook School, Taylor School, and West Bountiful School in many subjects, though Stewart and Valley View are notably stronger in upper-grade math and science.
Attendance and staffing are additional positives. Chronic absenteeism fell to 11.4% in 2024–2025, well below the district’s 18.6% and Utah’s 23.8%, although Holbrook School, West Bountiful, Valley View, and Oak Hills posted slightly lower rates. Tolman’s student-teacher ratio was 18.1, among the lowest in the comparison group, and its free- and reduced-price lunch rate was 17.08%. Overall, Tolman appears to be a school with clear upward momentum, consistent literacy strengths, and favorable attendance and staffing conditions. The main priorities are strengthening fifth-grade mathematics and science and continuing the improvement in sixth-grade mathematics.
