Summary

Canyon Rim Academy is a K–6 charter elementary school in Salt Lake City serving 524 students. It has a strong statewide academic profile, ranking 57th out of 563 Utah schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 90th percentile, with a current five-star rating. The school operates independently rather than as part of the nearby Salt Lake District or Granite District.

Test results are well above Utah averages in every reported grade and subject. Science is the clearest strength, especially sixth grade at 85.7% proficient. Math is also strong in third grade at 78.6% and sixth grade at 66.7%. However, results generally trail the strongest nearby schools, including Eastwood School, Howard R. Driggs School, and Morningside School. Highland Park School and Dilworth School also posted higher results in several grades. Canyon Rim’s fourth-grade math result of 55.4% is the most important academic watch point, particularly after falling from 75.3% the prior year.

Attendance is the school’s clearest weakness: chronic absenteeism reached 29.3% in 2024–25, higher than Utah’s 23.8% and every nearby comparison school in the supplied data. This is notable because the school continues to achieve strong academic results. Canyon Rim also reported a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 24.3, although its 6.11% free/reduced-price lunch rate indicates a comparatively low level of economic need. Overall, the school offers durable academic performance and especially strong science outcomes, while parents may want to ask about attendance improvement, fourth-grade instruction, and the recent decline from its 2024–25 statewide rank of 12th.

There is a lot of bullying at this school. The principal does nothing to stop the bullying. Close Quote

I've had children at Canyon Rim Academy for 8 years. I have loved the teachers my children have had every year and love that the staff and faculty care so much about my children. The quality of academics is excellent. Close Quote
