Summary
Valley View School is a PK–6 elementary school in Bountiful, Utah, serving 426 students in the Davis District amid a competitive group of nearby elementary schools, most within about two miles. For 2025–2026, it ranked 55th out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 90th percentile and earning a five-star rating. Its 25:1 student–teacher ratio is relatively high compared with several nearby schools, including Boulton School, Muir School, and Oak Hills School.
The school’s strongest academic results are in grades 4–6, especially grade 5. In 2025–2026, grade 5 students reached 82.6% proficiency in English language arts, 85.3% in mathematics, and 86.7% in science—the strongest grade 5 results among the listed nearby schools. Science is the clearest overall strength, averaging approximately 79% proficiency across grades 4–6. Valley View also outperformed district and state averages in most tested subjects, with particularly large advantages in grades 4–6. Grade 3 is the main area to watch: English language arts proficiency was 51.0%, while mathematics was 47.0%, below both district and state averages. In comparison, nearby Boulton School was stronger in grade 3 mathematics, although Valley View’s upper-grade results were generally better.
Attendance is another notable positive. Chronic absenteeism fell to 10.2% in 2024–2025, well below the Davis District rate of 18.6% and Utah’s 23.8%, and among the lowest rates in the local comparison group. The school serves a relatively low proportion of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch—6.57%—which is important context when comparing schools, but it does not by itself explain school performance. Although Valley View’s ranking has declined from 24th statewide in 2023–2024, it remains the highest-ranked school among the listed nearby schools and a strong overall option, with grade 3 mathematics, ranking trends, and class size worth monitoring.
