Summary

Alta View School is a relatively large K–5 elementary school in Sandy, Utah, serving 556 students in the Canyons District, an above-average Utah district located in a diverse suburban area.

Alta View is a solid statewide and local performer, ranking 208th out of 563 Utah schools, in the 63rd percentile, and earning 3 out of 5 stars. Its strongest academic area is science: approximately 66.7% of students were proficient across fourth- and fifth-grade science, compared with 55.5% in the district and 52.4% statewide. Alta View’s science results are especially competitive nearby, trailing only Willow Canyon School and Sunrise School. English Language Arts performance is moderate and slightly above the state average overall, while mathematics is more uneven. Third-grade math is the clearest concern, with 36.9% proficiency compared with 53.5% in the district and 50.1% statewide. Fourth-grade math is stronger at 57.7%, suggesting the challenge may be concentrated in a particular grade or cohort rather than reflecting uniformly weak math instruction.

For local comparisons, Alta View ranks near Altara School and ahead of Silver Mesa School and Sprucewood School, while Willow Canyon School and Sunrise School are substantially higher-ranked. It is well ahead of Crescent School, Glacier Hills Elementary, and Sandy School. Chronic absenteeism improved from 29.0% in 2021–22 to 19.3% in 2024–25, although it remains slightly above the district rate. The main issue to monitor is the long-term ranking decline from the 92nd percentile in 2018–19 to the 63rd percentile currently; improving math consistency while preserving the school’s science strength would be important next steps.
