Summary

West Valley School is an elementary school located in West Valley City, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 739 students. The school is part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 70 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, West Valley School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of West Valley School elementary schools in Utah, with a ranking between 339 and 531 out of 551-572 schools.

West Valley School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 32.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in RISE assessments for Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 36%, compared to the state average of 48.6%. Additionally, West Valley School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.17% to 50.2% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing West Valley School to other nearby schools in the Granite School District, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming. For instance, Hillside School and Whittier School, which are both within a 1.74-mile radius, have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than West Valley School. However, West Valley School's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $8,649, which is higher than the spending per student at some nearby schools, such as Hillside School ($7,701) and Valley Crest School ($7,661), suggesting that the higher spending has not translated into better academic outcomes for the school.
