It is part of the Davis School District, which is ranked 40 out of 98 school districts in Utah and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, over the past several years, Taylor School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 27th out of 526 Utah elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 278th out of 561 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 5 stars to 3 stars during this time period.

Additionally, Taylor School has a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (16.43%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 6.35% to 39.14%, suggesting a relatively higher socioeconomic status of the student population. However, Taylor School's test scores in RISE/English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the Davis District and Utah state averages across all grade levels, and the school has a higher student-teacher ratio (25.8) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 21.3 to 26.2.

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.
