Wasatch Waldorf Charter School

The Wasatch Waldorf Charter School area includes one public charter school, Wasatch Waldorf Charter School, serving approximately 625 students from kindergarten through Grade 8 in Holladay, Utah. Because it is the only school in the list, there are no nearby schools to compare directly; the most useful comparisons are with Utah statewide results and between grade levels.

The school’s strongest results are in the upper grades, especially Grade 7. In 2025–2026, Grade 7 exceeded the Utah average in English language arts, mathematics, and science, with 52%, 52%, and 48% of students proficient, respectively. Grade 8 also performed above the state average in English language arts, at 51.9%. However, mathematics is a major concern in Grades 3–6: proficiency was 12% in Grade 3, 20.3% in Grade 4, and under 10% in both Grades 5 and 6. Science results were below state averages in four of five tested grades, while English language arts was generally weaker in Grades 3–6 but improved substantially in Grades 7–8.

Attendance is another important issue. Chronic absenteeism was 46.2%, nearly twice Utah’s 23.8% rate, which may make it harder for students to keep up, although the data does not prove that absenteeism caused the academic results. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 18.5:1, and 18.4% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, Wasatch Waldorf Charter School shows an uneven profile: Grade 7 is a clear bright spot, while elementary and early middle-grade mathematics need urgent attention. Families may also want to ask the Wasatch Waldorf Charter School district about attendance supports, math instruction in Grades 3–6, and what changes occur when students reach Grade 7.
