Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
The elementary schools average 53.1/100 — 14.2 points above the state average, with 5 of 8 in the Strong band.
8 elementary schools span 29 points around an average of 53.1.
Pioneer Elementary (70/100) holds the Strong band — 46.2% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 36.7%. 1 school here ranks as a Growth Engine — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.
The suspension rate averages 2.8% against 1.6% statewide — worth a direct question on a visit.
The high school years
64 points separate Davis Senior High (81) from King (Martin Luther) High (Continuation) (17) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
64 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 4 high schools — the average hides more than it tells.
1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.
Davis Senior High (81/100) holds the Strong band — 54.9% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 37.8%. 1 school classifies as Strong All-Around — no weak dimension we measure.
33.3% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Pioneer Elementary at 70/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
1 of the 12 ranked schools is a charter — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — 1 campus here ranks as Growth Engine, its returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.

Top scorers at each level — not necessarily one zoned sequence. Confirm feeder patterns and enrollment zones with the district, and visit before you decide.
What this page can't see: whether a campus feels safe and glad at 8 a.m. If a path above looks workable, the next step is a visit.
