Summary:
ZIP code 84075 has one middle school, Syracuse Junior High, serving grades 7–9 in the Davis District. The school is a large junior high with 1,216 students and offers a mixed academic profile, with especially strong science results, weaker mathematics performance, and attendance rates better than district and state averages.
Syracuse Junior High’s strongest area is science. In 2025–2026, proficiency reached 62.8% in eighth-grade science and 55.6% in ninth-grade science, both above Davis District and Utah results. Science also improved in every reported grade compared with the prior year. Ninth-grade English language arts was another relative positive: 46.1% of students were proficient, slightly above the statewide rate of 45.4%, although seventh- and eighth-grade ELA results were below district and state levels.
Mathematics is the school’s most important challenge. Proficiency was 30.0% in seventh grade, 25.0% in eighth grade, and 27.3% in ninth grade, trailing both district and state results in every grade. Math scores also declined from the previous year, particularly in ninth grade. Families may also note that chronic absenteeism was 16.8%, better than the district’s 18.6% and Utah’s 23.8%, though attendance remains an important concern for some students. The school’s reported student-teacher ratio is 24.8 to 1, and its ranking history places it generally in the middle-to-lower-middle range of comparison schools. Overall, the data suggests a school with a clear science strength and a focused need for mathematics improvement rather than uniformly low performance across all subjects.
