Summary

Granger School is a large public school in West Valley City serving pre-kindergarten through sixth grade, with 716 students in the Granite District. The school’s latest ranking is 551st out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 2nd statewide percentile with 0 stars. Its low ranking has been persistent rather than limited to one unusually weak year. In 2024–25, 49.44% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, though that figure dropped sharply from the two prior years, so the change may reflect reporting or enrollment differences.

Academic performance is below both district and state averages in every reported subject and grade. English Language Arts proficiency was 12.2% in third grade, 17.5% in fourth grade, and 15.0% in fifth grade; math ranged from 10.3% to 24.0%, and science was 26.2% in fourth grade and 13.8% in fifth grade. Fifth-grade math and science are particular concerns. Nearby Rolling Meadows School is a useful same-district comparison: it ranked 397th statewide and posted stronger results across most tested subjects. Robert Frost School also performed better overall and had 44.7% fifth-grade math proficiency. These comparisons suggest that Granger’s results cannot be explained by districtwide conditions alone.

Attendance is another important issue. Granger’s 2024–25 chronic absenteeism rate was 34.0%, above the district’s 30.6% and Utah’s 23.8%, though lower than rates at nearby Harry S. Truman School and John C. Fremont School. The student-teacher ratio also increased from 18.8 to 21.6. Subgroup-effectiveness results have varied substantially, with especially low recent rankings for English Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The clearest improvement priorities are foundational reading, fifth-grade math and science, attendance, and consistent student support.
