Summary

Monte Vista School is an elementary school in South Jordan, Utah, serving 795 students in grades K-6 and part of the Jordan District, which is ranked 48 out of 93 districts in the state.

Monte Vista School consistently outperforms the Jordan District and the state of Utah in RISE test scores, particularly in Mathematics and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, 70.5% of 3rd-grade students at Monte Vista School were proficient or better in RISE Mathematics, compared to 47.5% in the Jordan District and 48.6% statewide. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 63.2% in 2024-2025 is also significantly higher than the district (50.1%) and state (50.4%) averages. However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 19.4% to 25.2% in recent years, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Monte Vista School generally outperforms its peers in the Jordan District, such as Jordan Ridge School, Southland School, and Elk Meadows School. The nearby Hawthorn Academy South Jordan, a charter school, has lower academic performance than Monte Vista School, particularly in Mathematics.
