Best Elementary Schools in Sandy, UT

Summary:

The city of Sandy, Utah is home to 19 elementary schools that are part of the Canyons District, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district is ranked 34 out of 93 in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, with a total student enrollment of 8,326 across the 19 schools.

Several schools stand out in the data, including Peruvian Park School, which is ranked 3rd out of 547 Utah elementary schools and has a 5-star rating, consistently performing well above the district and state averages on RISE test scores. Other top-performing schools include Willow Canyon School, Granite School, Park Lane School, and Sunrise School, all of which are ranked in the top 20 in the state and have 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

However, the data also reveals a significant gap in academic performance between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing schools, such as Sandy School, Glacier Hills Elementary, and East Sandy School. This disparity may be related to factors beyond just district and school resources, such as socioeconomic status and school-level practices. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% across all schools is a concerning trend that may be impacting student learning and performance.
