Summary

Syracuse Junior High is a public middle school located in Syracuse, Utah, serving grades 7-9 with a total enrollment of 1,253 students. It is part of the Davis School District, which is ranked 42 out of 93 school districts in Utah and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Syracuse Junior High appears to be a middle-performing school within the Davis School District, with below-average statewide rankings, test scores, and high chronic absenteeism rates. The school's performance is particularly weak in mathematics, while it performs better in science. Compared to nearby schools like Shoreline Junior High, Central Davis Junior High, and Sunset Junior High, Syracuse Junior High lags behind in most academic measures. However, the school outperforms some schools in the neighboring Weber School District, such as Rocky Mountain Junior High, Sand Ridge Junior High, and Roy Junior High.

The school's relatively low free and reduced lunch rates and higher student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its academic challenges. Syracuse Junior High's spending per student of $8,009 in 2018-2019 is slightly lower than the state average, but higher than some of the nearby schools in the Davis School District. Overall, Syracuse Junior High appears to be a school that could benefit from additional support and resources to improve its academic performance and address the high chronic absenteeism rates.
