Summary

Jackling School is a public elementary school in West Valley City serving 415 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade as part of the Granite District. Located near several district and charter schools, it serves a community where consistent attendance and academic support are important concerns.

Jackling’s recent academic results are well below district and state averages. In 2025–26, approximately 18.1% of tested students were proficient in English Language Arts, 23.8% in mathematics, and 22.1% in science, compared with substantially higher averages across Utah. The school ranked 520th of 563 Utah schools, in the 8th percentile. Results vary by grade: fifth-grade mathematics was a relative strength at 35.4%, above the district rate, while third-grade mathematics, fourth-grade ELA, and fourth-grade science were especially weak. Jackling’s statewide ranking has remained near the bottom for several years, although it improved from the 4th percentile in 2023–24 to the 8th percentile in 2025–26.

Attendance is one of the school’s clearest challenges. Chronic absenteeism was 41.4% in 2024–25, higher than the Granite District rate of 30.6%, the Utah rate of 23.8%, and every nearby Granite school listed. For comparison, Neil Armstrong Academy ranked in the 51st percentile and had 25.3% chronic absenteeism, while Pioneer School ranked in the 15th percentile. Philo T. Farnsworth School, a similarly sized nearby school, had lower absenteeism but mixed subject results. Overall, the most important priorities appear to be improving attendance, strengthening third- and fourth-grade instruction, and building on relative strengths in fifth-grade mathematics and selected student-support efforts.
