Summary

Harry S. Truman School is a public elementary school in West Valley City serving 317 students in prekindergarten through 6th grade as part of the Granite District. The school ranked 486th of 563 Utah elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 14th percentile and earning a one-star SchoolDigger rating. This is an improvement over its mostly 5th- to 7th-percentile rankings from 2020 through 2024, although it still trails most nearby schools. For comparison, Bennion School ranked in the 36th percentile, while Robert Frost School ranked in the 19th percentile.

Attendance is one of the school’s clearest challenges. In 2024–2025, 39.2% of students were chronically absent, compared with 30.6% across the district and 23.8% statewide. The rate is only slightly lower than the prior year’s 40.4% and is considerably higher than at nearby Robert Frost School (25.4%), which has a similar enrollment and lunch-program participation rate. The student-teacher ratio was 21.8 to 1, broadly comparable with nearby schools. About 44.48% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, though this older measure should be interpreted cautiously because it changed substantially from previous years.

Achievement is below district and state levels in nearly every reported area, with mathematics the greatest concern. Results included 3rd-grade ELA at 20–39% and 3rd-grade math at 10–29%; 4th- and 5th-grade math were 28.9% and 22.9%, respectively. Science was somewhat stronger, at 36.2% in 4th grade and 33.3% in 5th grade, but remained below district averages. The school generally outperformed Academy Park School and John C. Fremont School, but trailed Bennion School, Rolling Meadows School, and David Gourley School. The recent ranking improvement is encouraging, but sustained progress will likely depend on reducing chronic absenteeism and strengthening math and upper-elementary literacy.
