536^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 563 Utah Elementary Schools

Better than 5% of Utah elementary schools

Summary

Lake Ridge School in Magna, UT, is a public prekindergarten–sixth-grade elementary school serving approximately 410 students in a community with substantial economic need and is part of Granite District. The school’s latest statewide ranking is 536th of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 5th percentile with 0 stars. This is a modest improvement from the previous year, but Lake Ridge remains near the bottom statewide.

Academic results are well below district and state averages. In 2025–26, proficiency was approximately 18.9% in English language arts, 21.6% in mathematics, and 23.6% in science, compared with about 34.6%, 35.1%, and 41.5% across Granite District. Fourth grade is the clearest concern, with results of 13.2% in ELA, 17.0% in math, and 22.7% in science. There are some encouraging signs: third-grade ELA rose to 25.1%, while fifth-grade math and science improved notably from the prior year. Lake Ridge is not consistently the lowest-performing nearby school; it is ahead of Elk Run Elementary and several others in selected subjects, but trails stronger local schools such as West Valley School and Whittier School.

Attendance is a major challenge. Chronic absenteeism was 38.2% in 2024–25—better than the prior year’s 43.9%, but above Granite District’s 30.6% and Utah’s 23.8%. The student-teacher ratio also increased to 23.4:1. For contrast, nearby Wallace Stegner Academy West Valley ranked in the 52nd statewide percentile and reported 15.8% chronic absenteeism, though school-model differences make direct comparisons imperfect. Families may want to ask about attendance supports, fourth-grade interventions, class sizes, and how the school is extending the stronger practices seen in fifth grade.
