Summary:
Elementary schools serving ZIP code 84041 in Layton include 13 schools, mostly serving prekindergarten through sixth grade, with 12 in Davis District and one K–6 school in the Leadership Learning Academy district. Together, they enroll about 7,200 students, but academic results vary widely, from the 88th statewide percentile at Adams School to the 2nd percentile at Lincoln School. This range gives families several distinct options, from highly rated schools to campuses needing significant academic and attendance support.
The strongest overall choices are Adams School, Sunburst School, Ellison Park School, and Heritage School. Adams is the clear leader, with a 4-star rating and approximately 65.6% average proficiency across reported assessments. Sunburst combines strong performance with the area’s largest enrollment and low chronic absenteeism, while Ellison Park is especially strong in grades 5 and 6. Heritage offers a balanced profile and improved substantially in statewide ranking. East Layton School is another solid option, although its grade 6 mathematics results are notably weaker than its grade 3 performance.
The greatest concerns are Lincoln School, King School, Vae View School, and Crestview School, which report low proficiency, particularly in mathematics and science. Attendance is also important: Lincoln and Vae View have chronic absenteeism near 31%, while Whitesides School is near 30%. Leadership Learning Academy ranks below most local schools statewide but exceeds its district comparisons in many subjects. Parents should compare current assessment results, attendance, grade-level strengths, school climate, and support services, especially because some reported scores are ranges or “under” estimates rather than exact values.
