Summary

Dual Immersion Academy is a public PK–8 school in Salt Lake City serving 433 students in an area with substantial economic need, where 62.36% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school’s academic results are below Utah averages in every reported 2025–26 subject and grade. ELA proficiency ranges from under 20% to 30–48%, math ranges from under 20% to 37.8%, and science ranges from 20–39% to 30%, with science appearing to be the clearest weakness. Middle grades are an especially important concern: sixth-grade ELA and math were both under 20%, while seventh-grade ELA and science were each reported at 10–29%. The school ranks 497th of 563 statewide, at the 12th percentile, although that represents long-term improvement from the bottom of the rankings. Its student-teacher ratio has also improved, from 20.7 in 2022–23 to 18.2 in 2024–25.

Attendance is a major challenge: chronic absenteeism rose to 40.0% in 2024–25, compared with 23.8% statewide. Still, local comparisons provide a more balanced picture. Whittier School and Wallace Stegner Academy generally outperform the school, but Meadowlark School, Liberty School, Franklin School, Parkview School, and Edison School often post lower academic results. The school’s mathematics performance is a relative strength, and its PK–8 structure offers more middle-grade continuity than most nearby elementary schools. Key priorities appear to be improving attendance, strengthening science, and supporting the transition into grades 6–8.

This school has great teachers, and a wonderful curriculum. We have been a part of this school for 3 years now, beginning with the great preschool program that is offered at the school. Neither my wife or I speak or understand much Spanish. We have attempted to learn and keep up with our child as he learns at the school, but my child surpassed us in his Spanish abilities during his first year at The Dual Immersion Academy. He is now reading, writing, communicating and having fun in both Spanish and English! This school teaches children to embrace diversity, and teaches the children both English and Spanish - at a time when their minds are equipped and ready to absorb a new language. We couldn't be happier with the school, and I'm so glad that we found it! Close Quote
