Summary

Silver Hills School is an elementary school located in Kearns, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 386 students. The school is part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 70 out of 93 districts in Utah and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Silver Hills School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking between 390 and 561 out of around 550-560 schools.

Silver Hills School faces several key challenges. It has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 32.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. The school's test scores on the RISE assessments for Math, Science, and English Language Arts are consistently lower than the Granite District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 22.1% of 3rd graders at Silver Hills were proficient or better in Math, compared to 37.1% in the Granite District and 48.6% statewide. Additionally, Silver Hills has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.11% to 62.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the rates at nearby schools.

When compared to nearby schools in the Granite District, it is clear that Silver Hills School is underperforming. The nearby schools generally have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower percentages of students receiving free/reduced lunch. To address these challenges, Silver Hills School could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student engagement, provide additional academic support, and address socioeconomic barriers that may be impacting student success.
