Original Research by School Decision on Holbrook School
Holbrook School is a public elementary school serving students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade in Bountiful, a suburban city in Davis County just north of Salt Lake City. The school is part of Davis District, one of Utah's larger public school systems. With an enrollment that places it at a moderate size for an elementary school, Holbrook draws its students from the surrounding Bountiful neighborhoods, which are predominantly residential with single-family homes on gridded streets extending from the valley floor toward the Wasatch foothills.
Academically, Holbrook's performance on Utah's RISE state assessments lands in a mixed but generally solid territory. On the most recent testing, the school's proficiency rates in math and English language arts sit near the middle of the range when compared across the state, while science proficiency is a touch higher. When measured against other elementary schools in Davis County, Holbrook's overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades falls above the midpoint of the county's schools. That positions it as a school where a majority of students are meeting grade-level expectations, though not at the top of the county's performance. Families looking at Holbrook will find a school where typical outcomes are slightly better than the county median, but where there is still room for growth. The school serves only early and middle grades, so no high school graduation rate is available, and no chronic absenteeism data was reported in this profile.
The student body is predominantly White, with a modest share of students who are Hispanic, along with small numbers of students who identify as two or more races, Asian, Black, or Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. About one in eight students qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, a share that is relatively low by national and state standards. Federal data on students with disabilities and English learners was not provided, so a fuller picture of the school's support services and special education population is not available from this profile. Parents may wish to ask the school directly about its programs for these groups.
Bountiful itself is a mainly residential suburb with a well-established character. The city grew rapidly in the mid-twentieth century as a suburban extension of Salt Lake City and has since matured, with its population showing a slight decline from its 2020 peak. Housing in the area commands a premium. Typical home values in the zip code are well above national and state benchmarks, and rents are also elevated, reflecting the desirability of this stretch of the Wasatch Front. The housing costs are a significant consideration for families; owning a home here is expensive relative to national averages. The commute pattern is notable: a large share of residents travel outside Bountiful for work, with a mean travel time that is fairly typical for a suburban area near a major metro.
Davis District, which operates Holbrook, recently opened a new comprehensive high school in Farmington to relieve overcrowding, which reshaped attendance boundaries and feeder patterns in the area. The district also implemented Utah's statewide expansion of optional full-day kindergarten starting in the 2023-24 school year, giving families at Holbrook access to free full-day kindergarten—a change that expands early-childhood options. These district-level changes are worth noting because they affect the pipeline of schools students move through after sixth grade and the early learning opportunities available before that.
For a family considering Holbrook, the main considerations center on academic performance that is above the county midpoint but not exceptional, a student body that is relatively homogenous and with a low share of low-income students, and a community that is suburban, expensive, and well-established. The school does not appear to offer specialized programs or magnets based on the data available, and no information about course access or extracurricular offerings was provided. Parents who value a solid, middle-of-the-pack elementary experience in a stable, high-cost suburban setting will find Holbrook a reasonable fit. Those looking for a school with standout test scores or a highly diverse student population may want to look further. The lack of data on discipline, staffing, and attendance means a parent should probe those areas during a school visit or conversation with the principal.
