Wasatch Peak Academy

Wasatch Peak Academy is the only school in this area, serving 519 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in North Salt Lake, Utah. Wasatch Peak Academy is an elementary school with a 4-star rating and ranks 145th out of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 74th percentile. Because it is the sole school in the Wasatch Peak Academy district, the school and district results are effectively the same.

The school’s academic results are consistently stronger than Utah averages. In 2025–26, about 55.7% of students were proficient in English language arts, compared with 45.7% statewide; math proficiency averaged 56.5%, compared with 43.2%; and science proficiency averaged 61.6%, compared with 54.3%. Science was the strongest subject overall, with results between 60.3% and 62.9% across grades 4–6. English language arts performance was also steady, with every tested grade above 54% proficient. Mathematics showed the greatest variation: fifth grade was especially strong at 67.1% proficient, while sixth grade was much weaker at 37.5%, nearly matching the state rate. Families may want to ask how the school supports students in sixth-grade math.

Recent trends are generally positive. Math proficiency improved overall from the prior year, although sixth grade declined from 39.8% to 37.5%. Science improved in every tested grade, and the school’s ranking rose from the 68th percentile and 3 stars in 2024–25 to the current 74th percentile and 4 stars. Chronic absenteeism was 18.0%, better than Utah’s 23.8%, though attendance remains important because nearly one in five students was chronically absent. The school reports a 20.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio and 19.08% free/reduced-price lunch participation. Its $6,306 per-student spending figure is from 2018–19, so it should not be treated as a current financial measure.
