Summary:
The Canyon Rim Academy area in Salt Lake City has one elementary school, Canyon Rim Academy, serving students from kindergarten through sixth grade at 3005 S 2900 E. With 524 students, a 5-star rating, and a ranking around the top 10% of Utah schools, it is a strong option for families seeking an academically successful elementary school. Because there is only one school in the area, parents cannot compare local schools directly; the most useful comparisons are with Utah averages and the school’s performance over time.
Canyon Rim Academy performed above Utah averages in every reported 2025–2026 subject and grade. Average proficiency was 62.8% in English language arts, 65.1% in math, and 75.2% in science. The strongest result was sixth-grade science, with 85.7% of students proficient, while third-grade math was also exceptional at 78.6%. Sixth grade performed especially well overall, and the school’s results were generally 17 to 21 percentage points above comparable state averages. The clearest area needing attention is fourth grade, which had the school’s lowest scores in ELA, math, and science, though it still exceeded statewide results.
Parents should also note that performance declined from the previous year in several areas. Average math proficiency fell about 7.8 percentage points, while science declined about 5 points, and the school’s ranking moved from 12th to 57th statewide while remaining in the 90th percentile. Chronic absenteeism is another concern: 29.3% compared with 23.8% statewide. The student–teacher ratio is 24.3:1, and free or reduced-price lunch participation is 6.11%. Overall, Canyon Rim Academy remains a high-performing school in the Canyon Rim Academy district, with strong academics but attendance and recent score trends worth monitoring.
