Summary

Dilworth School is a high-performing public elementary school in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving 445 students in grades PK-6. As part of the Salt Lake District, which is ranked 55 out of 93 districts in the state, Dilworth School consistently outshines its peers, ranking among the top elementary schools in Utah with a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dilworth School's academic performance is exceptional, with students significantly outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 89.7% of Dilworth's 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in RISE/Mathematics, compared to just 50% for the Salt Lake District and 48.6% for the state. Additionally, Dilworth School has lower chronic absenteeism rates and a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher socioeconomic status of the student population. The school also maintains a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, which may contribute to its strong academic outcomes.

While Hawthorne School, Bonneville School, Uintah School, and Indian Hills School also demonstrate strong academic performance, Dilworth School stands out as one of the top-performing elementary schools in the Salt Lake City area, with a consistent track record of excellence over the years. However, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, although lower than the district and state averages, presents an opportunity for further improvement.

What people are saying

Second grade teacher was not pleasant. Referred to our son as 'disgusting'. Switched teachers halfway through the year and had remarkable improvement. Third grade teacher was unimpressionable. 4th grade teacher was amazing! She ran a tight ship and our son benefited greatly from it. 5th grade teacher has failed when it comes to communication. Indicated at PTC our son's ASD, she said they would get him support, never did. I wrote to his teacher in his planner about it, no response. Finally, 3/4 of the way through the school year, they finally decided to create an IEP. I have not been very satisfied with communication (this year) and especially the 2nd grade teacher who they asked to come out of retirement and was formerly in administration, not teaching.
