East Layton’s student-teacher ratio was 19.7 to 1, a moderate figure compared with nearby schools. Overall, the school offers solid and improving performance, with particularly strong third-grade academics and science, while continued attention to sixth-grade mathematics and consistency across grades could help it close the gap with Adams and Creekside.
