Summary

Buffalo Point School is a public pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade elementary school in Syracuse, Utah, serving 726 students in the suburban Davis County area as part of Davis District. It has a 3-star rating and ranks in the 57th percentile among Utah elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it modestly above the statewide midpoint.

Attendance is the school’s clearest strength. Chronic absenteeism fell from 34.7% in 2021–2022 to 11.3% in 2024–2025, below both Davis District’s 18.6% and Utah’s 23.8%. Among nearby schools with reported data, this was the lowest rate, better than Holt School, Antelope School, Cook School, Lakeside School, and other nearby schools. Academically, Buffalo Point is close to the district average overall, with about 48.6% proficiency in English language arts, 49.0% in math, and 56.1% in science. Fourth-grade math was a standout at 60.6%, while sixth-grade science reached 61.2% and third-grade ELA reached 55.3%.

Performance varies considerably by grade. Fifth grade is the main area needing attention, with proficiency of 41.7% in ELA, 44.0% in math, and 51.2% in science. Buffalo Point ranks ahead of several nearby traditional schools, including Holt School, Antelope School, West Point School, and Bluff Ridge School, but trails Lakeside School and Cook School. The strongest nearby academic benchmark is Syracuse Arts Academy - North, which ranks in the 81st percentile. Buffalo Point’s relatively high 24.6:1 student-teacher ratio and improved attendance are important context when considering its opportunity to build more consistent achievement across grades.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, September 22, 2011

Do Not send your child to this school if they have a diagnosis of Autism or on the spectrum!!! They will not accommodate your child's needs. They will only deal with severely handicapped children, as they aren't as challenging. If your child has high functioning autism PLEASE save yourself and most importantly your child the trauma. The functional skills teacher at this school is inept and runs her classroom based on her personal feelings for your child and you. Close Quote
