Summary:
ZIP code 84041 has four public middle schools serving grades 7–9: Shoreline Junior High, Legacy Junior High, Central Davis Junior High, and North Layton Junior High, all part of the Davis District. Together they enroll 4,188 students, but their academic results vary widely, so families should compare individual schools rather than rely on the ZIP code or district average alone.
Shoreline Junior High is the clear academic leader, ranking 35th of 217 Utah middle schools, placing in the 84th percentile, and earning four stars. It led the other three schools in all nine 2025–26 subject and grade measures, with especially strong eighth-grade results. Its chronic absenteeism rate was also below the district average. Legacy Junior High is the strongest improver: its ranking rose to 86th, its rating increased to three stars, and most of its comparable test scores improved. It also had the lowest absenteeism rate in the group. Families considering Legacy should note that ninth-grade mathematics remains a weakness.
Central Davis Junior High ranks lower overall, but its ninth-grade mathematics and science results exceeded district and state averages, suggesting a strength that could be extended to earlier grades. North Layton Junior High needs the most comprehensive improvement: it ranked 184th, earned one star, had the lowest proficiency in every current measure, and was the only school with chronic absenteeism above the district average. Across the four schools, eighth-grade mathematics was the weakest shared subject area. Economic circumstances and attendance differ among schools and provide important context, but they do not fully explain the results; families should also consider each school’s grade-level strengths, improvement trends, and available student supports.
