Sunburst School

Sunburst School is a public elementary school serving preschool through sixth grade in Layton, a large suburban community in Davis County. The school enrolls 862 students with a student-teacher ratio of 24.6:1 and a teaching staff of 35 full-time equivalent educators. Academically, Sunburst ranks at the 63rd percentile among Utah schools, placing it at #377 out of 1,018 statewide.

The school's academic score of 7.2/10 reflects mixed performance across subject areas. In science, just over half of students score at proficient levels or above, while math and reading proficiency rates sit slightly below 50 percent. These results suggest the school is working with students across a range of achievement levels and may benefit from continued focus on strengthening core academic skills, particularly in mathematics and literacy.

Like many suburban schools, Sunburst balances the advantages of community resources with the challenges of serving a diverse student population. Parents considering the school should view its current performance as a baseline and may want to explore what specific support systems and instructional initiatives the school has in place to help students progress toward grade-level standards.

The student-teacher ratio at Sunburst School is 24.6:1, which is higher than the national average. This may mean larger class sizes, so parents should ask about classroom support, teaching assistants, and how the school differentiates instruction for students who need extra help.
