Canyon Rim Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 520 students in grades K-6 in Salt Lake City, Utah. This relatively large school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating excellent overall performance.

Canyon Rim Academy significantly outperforms the state average on RISE assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, 69.6% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 48.6%. The school also has lower chronic absenteeism rates than the state average, suggesting better student attendance.

The school's relatively low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 7.92% to 10% in recent years, suggests a more affluent student population compared to the surrounding Salt Lake District and Granite District schools.

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