Eagle Bay School is a public elementary school in Farmington, part of the Davis District, serving pre-kindergarten through sixth grade. It is a neighborhood school with a student body that is predominantly white, a modest share of Hispanic students, and very small populations of other racial groups. The share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch is low, marking the school as serving a relatively affluent catchment.
Academically, Eagle Bay’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades places it in the top quartile among districts in Davis County, a strong position. Digging into individual subjects, performance is uneven. Reading and language arts proficiency is solid, and science proficiency is similarly strong. Mathematics proficiency is noticeably lower than those two subjects. The gap is large enough that a parent considering the school may want to ask the principal or a classroom teacher about math instruction, intervention, and how the school supports students who are not yet at the proficient level. State testing data for the most recent year is available for math and science, with reading data from the prior year; the pattern across those years is consistent enough to treat the math soft spot as a real point to investigate.
Because Eagle Bay ends at sixth grade, there is no graduation rate to report, and chronic absenteeism data was not available. The school’s civil rights, discipline, and staffing data were also absent from the public record, so a fuller picture of school climate would have to come from a visit or conversations with current families.
The housing market in Farmington reflects the school’s demographic profile. Home values in the zip code are well above national and state medians, and the price-to-income ratio suggests that buying a home here requires a substantial income. Rents are also high relative to the national average, though the rent-to-income ratio is within a typical range for the area. The broader economic context includes a mortgage rate around six and a half percent and a national unemployment rate around four percent, which are the macroeconomic conditions families will be navigating.
The Davis District, which runs Eagle Bay, has undergone two recent changes that matter for families. A new comprehensive high school, Farmington High School, opened in 2022, which shifted attendance boundaries and feeder patterns for elementary and middle schools in the Farmington and Kaysville area. That means the high school path out of Eagle Bay is different now than it was a few years ago, and families should confirm which middle and high school their attendance zone feeds into. The district also expanded optional full-day kindergarten starting in the 2023-24 school year, giving Eagle Bay families access to free full-day kindergarten—a change that broadened early-childhood options within the school.
The locale brief for Farmington returned no substantive public information in the search, so this narrative cannot offer a description of downtown walkability, shopping districts, or community amenities. What is clear from the available data is that Eagle Bay sits in a relatively high-cost, low-poverty residential area within a large suburban district. For a family that values strong overall test performance, especially in reading and science, and is comfortable with a math score that lags behind, Eagle Bay is a school that performs well relative to its county peers. The low rate of economic disadvantage and the predominantly white enrollment are characteristics that some families seek and others will weigh differently. The school’s size is moderate for an elementary, with a grade-by-grade distribution that is fairly even through the upper grades. It does not appear to be heavily impacted by overcrowding, though the district’s recent high school construction suggests that growth pressures exist in the area. A parent considering Eagle Bay should visit, ask about the math curriculum, and clarify the secondary school feeder pattern, but the academic evidence points to a school that, on balance, delivers solid results.
