Summary

Fairfield Junior High is a public middle school located in Kaysville, Utah, serving 987 students in grades 7-9. The school is part of the Davis School District, which is ranked 42 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairfield Junior High consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Utah, with a statewide ranking between 15th and 76th out of over 200 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly higher than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 57.5% of 7th graders at Fairfield Junior High were proficient or better in RISE Mathematics, compared to 47.7% for the Davis District and 45.4% for the state. However, the school's performance for Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom half of Utah middle schools.

Fairfield Junior High outperforms most of the nearby schools in the Davis District, particularly Shoreline Junior High and Kaysville Junior High, which stand out as the top-performing schools in the area. In contrast, schools like North Davis Junior High and North Layton Junior High struggle with lower academic performance and higher rates of chronic absenteeism. While Fairfield Junior High has maintained a strong academic performance, the school's increase in chronic absenteeism is a concerning trend that the school and district should address.
