Summary

Davis School is an elementary school located in Vernal, Utah, serving 438 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Uintah School District, which is ranked 38 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Davis School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools in recent years, the data shows that it is underperforming compared to nearby schools like Maeser School and Discovery School. Davis School has higher chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores in core academic areas, and a higher percentage of students from low-income families. For example, in 2024-2025, Davis School's 3rd grade Math proficiency was 49.3%, compared to the district's 51.4% and the state's 48.6%.

However, the school's ranking has improved slightly over the years, suggesting that it may be making progress. To continue this trend, Davis School could focus on improving attendance rates, implementing targeted interventions to boost student achievement, and exploring ways to better support its high-needs student population. By addressing these challenges, the school can work towards providing a better educational experience for its students and closing the performance gap with other schools in the area.
