Summary

Butler School is a K–5 elementary school in Salt Lake City serving approximately 600 students in the Canyons District, in a competitive area surrounded by several high-performing elementary schools.

Butler has a strong statewide record, ranking 102nd out of 563 Utah elementary schools and at the 82nd percentile for 2025–2026. It performs above Canyons District and state averages in seven of eight reported subject-and-grade results. Fourth grade is the clearest academic strength: 64.4% of students were proficient in English language arts, 75.0% in mathematics, and 70.2% in science. Fifth-grade mathematics is the main area to watch, with 52.8% proficiency—slightly below the district’s 53.7%, though above Utah’s 45.0%. Attendance is another advantage: Butler’s chronic absenteeism rate was 13.4%, well below the district’s 18.8% and the state’s 23.8%.

Butler’s ranking is especially notable because the local comparison is unusually strong. Peruvian Park School, Canyon View School, and Brookwood School currently rank well ahead of Butler statewide, while Quail Hollow School is also competitive. Butler generally compares favorably with Oakdale School and Ridgecrest School. Its student-teacher ratio of 22.6 is somewhat higher than at several nearby high-performing schools, but the overall picture is of a solid upper-tier school with strong fourth-grade results, good attendance, and room to improve in fifth-grade mathematics and science.
