Summary

Jim Bridger School is a PK–6 school serving about 340 students in West Jordan’s local community and part of the Granite District. For 2025–2026, it ranks in the 24th Utah percentile and has a one-star rating, placing it below the state average but ahead of several nearby schools. Its student-teacher ratio of 20.6 is competitive locally. The school’s overall results are mixed: it has notable strengths with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, while attendance, mathematics, and consistency across grades remain important concerns.

One of the most encouraging findings is the school’s 67th-percentile effectiveness ranking for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, much higher than its 24th-percentile overall ranking. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 48.4% in 2022–2023 to 37.8% in 2024–2025, but remains above the district’s 30.6% and Utah’s 23.8%. Academically, English language arts is relatively stronger, especially in fourth and fifth grade, with fifth-grade performance at 38%, above the district’s 34.4%. Fourth-grade science is another bright spot at 47.8%, above the district’s 41.7%. Mathematics is the clearest weakness, particularly fourth grade at 20.5%, compared with 36.9% in the district.

Comparisons with nearby schools provide useful context. Diamond Ridge School and Fox Hills School have stronger overall rankings and substantially lower absenteeism, but also serve populations with lower reported economic need. Thomas W. Bacchus School is a particularly relevant comparison because enrollment and economic-need levels are similar; Jim Bridger generally posts stronger academic results and has a much higher statewide ranking. Overall, Jim Bridger shows real recent improvement, but families should expect a school still working to strengthen attendance, mathematics, and achievement consistency.
