Summary

Bennion School is an elementary school located in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 445 students. It is part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 70 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Bennion School has received a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, indicating it is performing below average compared to other elementary schools in Utah.

Bennion School faces several challenges, including lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and a higher proportion of students from low-income families, compared to both the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, Bennion School's 3rd grade math proficiency was 44.3% compared to the Granite District's 37.1% and the state's 48.6%. Additionally, Bennion School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.9% to 32.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 31.13% to 35.73% in recent years.

When comparing Bennion School to the nearby schools within the Granite District, it generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. For instance, Calvin S. Smith School and Fox Hills School have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Bennion School. Additionally, Bennion School's spending per student ($8,363 in 2018-2019) is lower than the state average, which may contribute to the school's challenges in providing resources and support for its students.
