Summary

Oakwood School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Salt Lake City, Utah, part of the Granite School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, currently ranking 191st out of Utah's elementary schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakwood School consistently outperforms the Granite District and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 53.6% of Oakwood's 3rd graders were proficient or better in RISE/Mathematics, compared to 37.1% for the Granite District and 48.6% for Utah. The school's performance is generally stronger than other Granite District schools in the area, such as Howard R. Driggs School and Crestview School. However, Oakwood lags behind the top-performing schools in the Canyons District, like Ridgecrest School and Butler School, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

While Oakwood School's overall performance is strong, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.8% to 32.7% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($8,404 in 2018-2019) is on par with the nearby Granite and Canyons District schools, suggesting that its strong academic performance is not solely due to higher funding. These factors suggest that there may be room for improvement in certain areas, and the school may benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to address the chronic absenteeism issue and continue to enhance its overall academic outcomes.
