Summary

Woodrow Wilson School is a public PK–6 elementary school in Salt Lake City’s Granite District, serving 656 students in a relatively large school setting. Its 2025–2026 statewide ranking was 510 of 563 schools, placing it at the 9th percentile. The school’s overall profile includes low academic results, high absenteeism, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio, although it generally performs better than two nearby Granite District schools.

In 2025–2026, about 25.7% of reported students were proficient in English Language Arts, 23.4% in mathematics, and 20.4% in science, compared with approximately 34.6%, 35.1%, and 41.5% across the district. Third-grade mathematics was a relative bright spot at 37.3%, slightly above the district average of 35.8%. The clearest academic concern was fifth-grade mathematics, where proficiency fell to 9.8%. Science was also consistently weak, with results of 22.7% in fourth grade and 18.0% in fifth grade. The school’s rank had been stronger in 2021–2022, at the 37th percentile, but that improvement was not sustained.

Attendance and classroom capacity are important considerations. Chronic absenteeism was 30.9% in 2024–2025, higher than Utah’s 23.8%, while the student-teacher ratio was 30.5:1—the highest among the listed nearby schools with current data. Still, Woodrow Wilson School outperformed Olene Walker Elementary and Lincoln School in most comparable tested areas. It trails higher-performing local examples such as Highland Park School and Emerson School, which report much stronger test results, lower absenteeism, and smaller student-teacher ratios. Key priorities suggested by the data are fifth-grade mathematics, grades 4–5 science, attendance, and sustaining gains over time.
