Summary

Fairfield Junior High is a public school in Kaysville, Utah, serving 972 students in grades 7–9 within the Davis District. It is one of the area’s strongest junior highs, ranking 39th out of 217 Utah schools in 2025–2026, in the 82nd percentile statewide, and earning a four-star SchoolDigger rating.

Fairfield’s academic results are generally above district and state averages. English language arts proficiency ranges from 54.8% to 56.8% across grades, while science ranges from 52.4% to 60.6%. Mathematics is especially strong in seventh grade, at 67.1%, and eighth grade, at 56.5%. Ninth-grade math is the clearest concern, however, with 38.4% proficiency—below both district and state results and well behind nearby Kaysville Junior High, at 62.7%, and Shoreline Junior High, at 57.6%. Fairfield’s overall ranking has also recovered notably, rising from the 64th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 82nd percentile today.

Families may also appreciate Fairfield’s chronic absenteeism rate of 15.4%, below the district’s 18.6% and Utah’s 23.8%, although Kaysville Junior High, Centennial Junior High, and Legacy Junior High report lower rates. Fairfield’s 26.8 student-teacher ratio is relatively high compared with several nearby schools, making individualized support worth considering. Outcomes for students from low-income backgrounds have improved, but remain below the schoolwide level, and special education performance is the most significant subgroup challenge. Overall, Fairfield combines strong, improving performance with specific opportunities in ninth-grade math and student support.
