Summary

Cook School is a public elementary school in Syracuse, Utah, serving 657 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade as part of Davis District. The school ranks 204th of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it at the 64th percentile with a 3-star rating. Its current standing reflects meaningful long-term improvement from the 38th percentile earlier in the decade. Among nearby traditional district schools, Cook currently has the strongest statewide ranking, although nearby charter Syracuse Arts Academy - North ranks higher overall.

Academically, Cook’s strongest results are in third and fourth grade. English language arts proficiency reaches 62.9% in third grade and 60.1% in fourth grade, while mathematics proficiency is 68.5% and 61.3% in those grades—well above district and Utah averages. Science is another consistent strength, especially sixth grade at 65.4% proficient. The main concern is performance in the upper grades: fifth-grade ELA is 33.6%, compared with 49.0% districtwide, and mathematics falls below district levels in fifth and sixth grade. Syracuse Arts Academy - North outperforms Cook in nearly every tested subject, while Cook often leads nearby district schools such as Buffalo Point School in key third- and fourth-grade results.

Attendance is a notable asset. Cook’s chronic absenteeism rate declined from 28.8% in 2021–22 to 13.4% in 2024–25, below both Davis District at 18.6% and Utah at 23.8%. Its student-teacher ratio also improved to 21.7, down from 25.6 two years earlier. Overall, Cook appears to be a steadily improving school with strong early-grade instruction, solid science performance, and better-than-average attendance. The clearest priorities are improving fifth-grade literacy and strengthening mathematics in fifth and sixth grade.
