Summary

Sunburst School is a large public school in Layton, Utah, serving 871 students from pre-K through sixth grade in the Davis District. For 2025–2026, it ranked 151st out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 73rd percentile and earning four stars. This was a notable improvement from the previous year, when it ranked in the 54th percentile.

Academically, Sunburst School generally performs above district and state averages. Its strongest areas are early-grade math, with 68.9% of third graders and 68.2% of fourth graders reaching proficiency. Fourth-grade science was also strong at 67.6%. The school’s results are more mixed in fifth and sixth grade: fifth-grade ELA and science were below district averages, while sixth-grade math was only modestly above the district. Compared with nearby schools, Ellison Park School is a particularly important comparison. Sunburst School has the stronger overall ranking and early-grade results, but Ellison Park School performs better in several upper-grade subjects.

Attendance is one of Sunburst School’s clearest strengths. Chronic absenteeism fell to 11.6% in 2024–2025, well below the district’s 18.6% and Utah’s 23.8%; only Kay’s Creek Elementary and Sand Springs School reported lower rates nearby. About 13.78% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, a lower share than at most comparison schools. One consideration for families is the 24.4 student-teacher ratio, the highest reported among the nearby schools. Overall, the school’s profile is one of strong recent momentum, reliable attendance, and especially good early-grade math, with continued opportunity to strengthen fifth- and sixth-grade performance.
