Summary
Oakridge School is a small public elementary school in Salt Lake City serving 279 students in grades K–5. Located in an area with an unusually strong group of nearby elementary schools, Oakridge is part of the Granite District, which ranks 70th out of 92 Utah districts, but the school itself performs far better than the district’s overall standing suggests. For 2025–2026, Oakridge ranked 28th out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 95th percentile statewide and earning a five-star rating.
Oakridge has produced consistently strong results, ranking in the top 5% statewide in each of the two most recent years. In 2025–2026, it exceeded both district and Utah averages in English language arts, mathematics, and science. Fourth grade was especially strong, with 83.4% proficiency in ELA, 79.0% in math, and 79.1% in science. Science was the school’s strongest overall subject, including 84.3% proficiency in fifth grade. The clearest areas to monitor are third-grade ELA and math and fifth-grade math, although each still performed above the state average. Oakridge’s chronic absenteeism rate was 14.5%, well below the district’s 30.6% and the statewide 23.8%. Its student-teacher ratio also improved to 21.4 to 1 in 2024–2025.
Oakridge is not the highest-ranked school in its immediate area, which includes several exceptional alternatives. Eastwood School, Morningside School, and Howard R. Driggs School ranked second, eighth, and fifth statewide, respectively. Still, Oakridge generally outperformed Rosecrest School, William Penn School, Oakwood School, and Crestview School in many tested subjects. It was broadly comparable with Cottonwood School and generally stronger than Canyon Rim Academy in fourth- and fifth-grade results. Overall, Oakridge is a high-performing school whose strong academics and relatively favorable attendance make it one of the area’s attractive elementary options.
