Summary:
Elementary school options in the Wasatch Waldorf Charter School area consist of one K–8 charter school, Wasatch Waldorf Charter School, in Holladay, Utah, serving about 625 students with a student-teacher ratio of 18.5 to 1. Because it is the only school in the list, there are no nearby school-to-school comparisons; the most useful benchmarks are Utah statewide results and differences among grade levels.
The school has a notably uneven academic profile. Grade 7 is the clearest bright spot, with 52% of students proficient in English language arts and mathematics and 48% proficient in science—slightly above Utah results in all three subjects. Grade 8 ELA was also strong at 51.9%, above the state’s 45.6%. However, performance was much weaker in the elementary grades. Mathematics proficiency was 12% in grade 3, 20.3% in grade 4, and under 10% in grades 5 and 6, compared with roughly 37% to 50% statewide. Science was especially weak in grade 5, at 22.4% versus 52.2% statewide. Overall, ELA was the strongest subject, while mathematics was the most urgent academic concern.
Attendance is another major issue for families to consider. In 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 46.2%, nearly twice Utah’s 23.8% rate, meaning attendance may significantly affect learning continuity and test participation. Results from year to year were mixed: grade 7 mathematics improved substantially, while grade 5 science and several lower-grade mathematics results declined. The school ranked at the 11th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, with one star, indicating persistent challenges despite some upper-grade strengths. The school and Wasatch Waldorf Charter School district are the same organization, so the district statistics do not provide an independent comparison.
