Summary

Wasatch School is a high-performing public elementary school serving grades K-6 in Salt Lake City, Utah. With a consistent ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, Wasatch School has a strong academic track record, outperforming the Salt Lake District and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas.

One area of concern for Wasatch School is its higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 33.0% over the past few years, which is above the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a more affluent student population compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Hawthorne School, Whittier School, and Uintah School. This could have implications for the school's resources, funding, and the diversity of the student body.

Despite these challenges, Wasatch School's strong academic performance and dedicated staff suggest that it is effectively meeting the educational needs of its students. When compared to nearby schools, Wasatch School consistently outperforms many of them, particularly in the areas of mathematics and science. This makes Wasatch School a desirable option for families seeking a high-performing elementary school in the Salt Lake City area.
