The school is part of the Davis School District, which is ranked 40th out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Davis High has consistently been one of the top-performing high schools in the state, ranking within the top 20 schools for several years.

Davis High consistently outperforms the state and district averages in standardized test scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, 49.6% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.6% statewide. In mathematics, 50.8% of 10th-graders were proficient or better, compared to 27.5% statewide. This academic excellence is reflected in the school's high ranking within the state. While the student population at Davis High is predominantly white (around 90%), the school has a more diverse racial makeup compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Northridge High. Additionally, Davis High has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 6.89% to 8.73% over the past three years, which is significantly lower than some of the nearby schools.

The variation in spending per student among the nearby schools is also interesting to note. Davis High's spending per student ($9,451 in 2018-2019) is lower than Farmington High ($10,274) and higher than Layton High ($8,778) and No. UT. Acad. for Math Engineering & Science ($8,517). This suggests that factors other than just spending per student may be contributing to the schools' academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
