Summary

Silver Hills School is a public elementary school in Kearns, Utah, serving 475 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade as part of Granite District. The school serves a community with relatively high economic need, although its reported free/reduced-price lunch rate declined to 43.58% in 2024–2025. Silver Hills ranked 517th of 563 Utah elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it at the 8th percentile. This is near the bottom of its nearby comparison group, though the school has performed better in the past, reaching the 30th percentile in 2023–2024.

Current academic results are below both district and state averages in every reported subject. About 21.8% of students were proficient in tested ELA grades, 21.3% in mathematics, and 30.8% in science. Third grade is the biggest concern: just 14.3% were proficient in both ELA and math, compared with 32.9% and 35.8%, respectively, across the district. Results have varied substantially over time; in 2023–2024, third-grade math proficiency was 53.5%. Science is the school’s relative strength, but it remains below local and state benchmarks. Silver Hills generally trails stronger nearby schools such as Diamond Ridge School, Jim Bridger School, and David Gourley School.

Attendance is another important challenge. Silver Hills’ chronic absenteeism rate was 32.5% in 2024–2025, above the district’s 30.6% and Utah’s 23.8%, meaning roughly one-third of students were chronically absent. On the positive side, the student-teacher ratio improved to 21.1, better than several nearby schools, and Silver Hills outperforms some local peers in selected subjects. For example, it generally compares favorably with West Kearns School and had stronger current math results than Academy Park School. The clearest priorities are strengthening third-grade literacy and math, improving attendance, and identifying the practices that supported the school’s stronger performance from 2021 through 2024.
