Salt Lake Academy West Herriman K-5

Salt Lake Academy West Herriman K-5 is an elementary school in Herriman serving kindergarten through 5th grade near several Jordan District schools and Advantage Arts Academy; its reported enrollment is 0, which likely reflects a reporting or data-availability issue rather than an empty school. Other important information, including free/reduced-price lunch participation, student-teacher ratio, and chronic absenteeism, is not reported. The school’s data is also listed under Salt Lake Academy High School, an unusual structure for a K–5 campus that should be verified.

As reported for 2025–2026, the school ranked 534th of 563 Utah schools, placing it at the 5th percentile with zero stars. Its academic results were below Utah averages in every tested grade and subject. English Language Arts proficiency was 25.9% in 3rd grade, 15.3% in 4th grade, and 14.8% in 5th grade, compared with state rates of 46.6%, 46.1%, and 45.9%.

Science was especially weak, at 18.7% in 4th grade and 23.0% in 5th grade, versus 52.6% and 52.2% statewide.

The school is a clear academic outlier among nearby campuses. The closest listed school, Bastian School, ranked at the 31st percentile and outperformed it in every shared subject and grade. The contrast with Herriman School, about 1 mile away, is even larger: Herriman ranked at the 85th percentile and reached 81.9% proficiency in 4th-grade science compared with 18.7% at Salt Lake Academy West Herriman. Other nearby schools, including Aspen Elementary, Midas Creek School, and Oak Leaf Elementary, also generally performed substantially better. Families should view these results as a reason to ask about grade-level instruction, upper-elementary interventions, science teaching, attendance, staffing, and the school’s reporting structure.
