Original Research by School Decision on Windridge School
Windridge School serves kindergarten through sixth grade in Kaysville, a family-oriented city in Davis County along the Wasatch Front. The school is part of Davis District, one of Utah’s larger districts, and by the numbers it is an academically strong elementary school. Proficiency on the state’s RISE assessments placed the school comfortably in the top quartile among all elementary schools in the county, a meaningful marker given the number of schools in that set. In math, roughly two-thirds of students scored proficient or above, and in English language arts the share was similar. Science proficiency was a touch higher, with more than seven in ten students meeting the bar. These are solid figures that suggest the school’s core academic program is working well for most of its students.
Kaysville is a primarily residential community where the majority of households have children, and the school’s demographics reflect that setting. The student body is predominantly white, with a small but present Hispanic population. About one in ten students qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, a low share compared to national averages and consistent with the area’s relatively high median household income. The school serves preschool through sixth grade, so there are no state test results for the youngest children, and there is no graduation rate because Windridge is an elementary school. That is simply the nature of the grade band.
Housing in Kaysville is expensive by national standards, with home values well above the Utah state median and far above the national median. Rents are also high, and the cost of owning a home is substantially higher than renting, reflecting a tight housing market with very low vacancy rates. The community has grown steadily, and the school district has responded to enrollment pressure. Davis District opened Farmington High School in 2022 to relieve overcrowding at nearby high schools, which created a new boundary affecting Kaysville-area families. That matters for a Windridge parent planning ahead — the district’s high school feeder pattern changed relatively recently. The district also offers free full-day kindergarten districtwide, a state expansion that took effect in 2024, giving families with young children a full-day option without additional cost.
Kaysville itself is described by the city as a quiet but active community with a historic Main Street, significant park acreage, and the Utah Botanical Center, which also serves as a Utah State University extension site. The Davis Technical College is located in the city, and many residents likely commute to employment along the broader Wasatch Front, including Hill Air Force Base. The city’s self-described character leans heavily on traditional family values and a small town feel, which will appeal to some families and may feel limiting to others. Street life is concentrated near Main Street and at community events like the July 4th celebration; walkability is typical of a suburban setting rather than a dense urban one.
The available data does not include information on staffing ratios, class sizes, discipline rates, or chronic absenteeism. It also does not show results broken out by student subgroup, so a parent with a child in special education or an English learner should ask the school directly about how those students perform. The school’s special education and English learner counts were not reported in the data we had. These are gaps a prospective family would want to fill with a phone call or a visit.
For a family looking at Windridge, the picture is of a school with strong and consistent test performance in a well-off, child-centered suburb. The context is a tight housing market and a district that is managing growth with facility expansions. The school does not offer high school programs or career pathways because it is an elementary school, and there is no information about after-school offerings or enrichment programs. What is clear is that the academic foundations, as measured by state tests, are above the norm for the county. A family that values a high-performing school in a stable, family-focused community will find that description fits here. A family that wants more demographic diversity or a wider range of program options before middle school should look into what else Windridge offers that the numbers alone do not capture.
