Summary

Daybreak School is a public elementary school in South Jordan, Utah, serving 746 students in grades K-6. While the school is part of the Jordan School District, which is ranked 48 out of 93 districts in the state, Daybreak School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a high of 94th out of 528 Utah elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 284th out of 547 in 2024-2025.

The school's test scores in mathematics, science, and English language arts are generally lower than the Jordan District and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 36.1% compared to the district's 47.5% and the state's 48.6%.
