Original Research by School Decision on Kay's Creek Elementary
Kay’s Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Kaysville, a primarily residential and family-oriented city in Davis County, Utah. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade and is part of the Davis School District, one of the larger districts in the state. Kaysville has a historic Main Street, a tight housing market with very low vacancy, and a population that has grown steadily over time. The city promotes itself as maintaining a rural atmosphere while being centrally located along the Wasatch Front, midway between Salt Lake City and Ogden, with access to commuter rail and major highways. Many households have children, and the community is described as valuing tradition and stability. Families considering this area will find a suburban setting with amenities such as parks, the Utah State University Botanical Gardens, and a nearby technical college.
The student body at Kay’s Creek is predominantly white, with a modest Hispanic presence and small numbers of students from other racial and ethnic groups. The share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch is very low, reflecting the relative affluence of the surrounding community. The school enrolls a sizable number of students for an elementary school, spread across grades PK through six. Data on students with disabilities and English learners were not included in the available source materials, so families with specific needs in those areas may want to follow up directly with the school.
Academically, the school performs at a strong level. State assessment results in reading, math, and science all show high rates of proficiency. When compared to other schools in Davis County, Kay’s Creek’s overall performance across tested subjects places it in the top quarter. This indicates a consistently solid academic environment. Because the school serves only elementary grades, there is no graduation rate to report.
Home values in the school’s zip code are well above both the Utah state median and the national median. Rents also run high. For families who plan to buy or rent in the attendance area, this is an expensive market, and the area is known for being a desirable place to raise children with a strong emphasis on family life.
The data did not include details about specific enrichment offerings such as gifted programs, arts, music, or STEM tracks. Information about staffing, class sizes, and discipline was also absent. Parents with particular interests should contact the school to learn what is available. The district recently opened a new high school in neighboring Farmington to manage enrollment growth, and Utah’s statewide expansion of optional full-day kindergarten took effect in the 2023-24 school year, giving families at Kay’s Creek access to that option. For a family looking for a high-performing elementary school in an affluent, family-centered suburb with tight housing and a strong academic track record, Kay’s Creek Elementary fits that profile.
