Original Research by School Decision on Stewart School
Stewart School is a public elementary school serving prekindergarten through sixth grade in Centerville, part of the Davis District in northern Utah. It is one of four elementary schools in this suburban city, which functions primarily as a bedroom community for the Salt Lake metropolitan area. Centerville is car-oriented, with a commercial strip along Parrish Lane, no traditional downtown, and a network of parks and trails. The city has grown modestly in recent years and retains a small-town feel, though it sits in a fast-growing region. Families here commute to jobs regionally; no single large employer is headquartered in Centerville.
Academically, Stewart School posts strong results. On Utah’s RISE assessments, proficiency rates across math, English language arts, and science are solid, with reading and science particularly high and math a notch lower but still above average. When compared against districts in Davis County, the school’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades lands in the top quartile. This is a meaningful signal for a school that serves only the elementary grades, where foundational skills are assessed. No multi-year trend data was available, so it is not possible to say whether performance has improved or declined over time, but the current snapshot is encouraging.
The student body is moderate in size for an elementary school and predominantly white, with small shares of Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial students. A low share of students qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves a relatively affluent attendance area. Data on special education identification and English learner status were not reported, and no information on chronic absenteeism or discipline was available. Parents seeking details on those dimensions would need to follow up with the school directly.
Centerville’s housing market reflects the area’s desirability. Home values are elevated compared to state and national medians, and rents account for a moderate share of area incomes. The combination of strong schools, a suburban setting, and proximity to Salt Lake’s job centers makes this a competitive market for families. There is no traditional downtown district; schools and civic facilities are spread through the suburban fabric. Public transit via UTA bus routes and nearby FrontRunner stations provides regional connections.
The Davis District has opened a new comprehensive high school in Farmington to relieve overcrowding, a change that affects feeder patterns in the northern part of the county, though Stewart School feeds into Centerville Junior High and then Viewmont High School in Bountiful. The district also implemented optional full-day kindergarten across its elementary schools, which applies to Stewart. No specific program offerings at the school—such as dual language, gifted, or STEM pathways—were reported in available data, so families should ask the school directly about any special academic options.
Stewart School delivers strong academic outcomes in a stable, family-oriented community with elevated housing costs. For a parent weighing this option, the school’s performance is a clear strength, but the absence of detail on student support populations, discipline, and program availability means those areas would need direct inquiry.
