Summary

Sunburst School is an elementary school located in Layton, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 862 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. Sunburst School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 159th out of 551 Utah elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 250th out of 547 in 2024-2025, with a 3-star rating.

Sunburst School generally outperforms the Davis District and Utah state averages in RISE test scores across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, Sunburst School had 64% of 3rd graders proficient or better in RISE Mathematics, compared to 52% for the Davis District and 48.6% for Utah. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.3% in 2022-2023 to 23.8% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Sunburst School also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 11.44% in 2021-2022 to 14.04% in 2023-2024, which is lower than many of the nearby schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Sand Springs School has a higher statewide ranking and better test scores in most areas. Additionally, the relatively low spending per student at Sunburst School ($6,456 in 2018-2019) compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Vae View School ($9,940 per student), may be a factor in the school's performance and resources available to students.
