Summary

Oakwood School is a public elementary school in Salt Lake City serving prekindergarten through sixth grade, with 580 students in the Granite District, an urban area with several notably high-performing nearby schools. Oakwood’s latest statewide ranking was 188th of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it at the 67th percentile and earning a three-star rating. This makes it a solid, above-average school statewide, although its recent standing is below its earlier results, including a 94th-percentile ranking in 2022–2023.

Oakwood’s academic results are generally stronger than district and state averages, with science as its clearest strength. In 2025–2026, average proficiency across reported grades was about 54.0% in English language arts, 50.6% in mathematics, and 63.1% in science. Third-grade results were especially encouraging in ELA and math, while fourth- and fifth-grade science scores were well above district levels. The main concern is fifth-grade mathematics, which has stayed near the low-40% range for three consecutive years: 42.6% most recently, compared with 45.0% statewide. Attendance is a relative advantage: Oakwood’s chronic absenteeism rate was 22.1%, below the district’s 30.6% and the state’s 23.8%.

Compared with nearby schools, Oakwood is close to Woodstock School in overall performance, but its attendance was much better. It trails stronger local performers such as Howard R. Driggs School, ranked fifth statewide, and Cottonwood School, ranked 34th; both posted substantially higher achievement, particularly in math. Crestview School also recently moved ahead of Oakwood. Overall, Oakwood offers dependable above-average performance, strong science, and better-than-district attendance, with fifth-grade math and continued attendance improvement as the clearest opportunities.
