Summary

Monte Vista School is a public K–6 elementary school in South Jordan, Utah, serving 783 students in the suburban Jordan District. It is a relatively large school and ranks above the statewide midpoint, at 218th of 563 Utah elementary schools and the 61st percentile, earning a 3-star rating. Its nearby competition includes stronger overall performers such as Eastlake School, Jordan Ridge School, and South Jordan School, while Monte Vista is close to Southland School, Midas Creek School, and Rose Creek School.

Science is Monte Vista’s clearest academic strength. In 2025–2026, proficiency reached 70.2% in fourth-grade science, 53.5% in fifth grade, and 66.4% in sixth grade—above statewide results in all three grades. Fourth-grade mathematics was another standout, with 69.3% proficient, higher than every nearby school in the supplied comparison. Overall math and ELA averages were also slightly above state averages, but performance varies considerably by grade. Fourth-grade ELA was strong at 61.2%, while fifth-grade ELA was a concern at 38.6%, below both the district and state. Sixth-grade math has also been a recurring weakness, remaining below 42% in each of the last four reported years, although it improved to 37.8% in 2025–2026.

The school’s ranking has declined from the 72nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the current 61st percentile, so sustaining recent academic strengths will be important. Attendance is another area to watch: chronic absenteeism rose to 21.4% in 2024–2025, higher than at Jordan Ridge School, Southland School, and Eastlake School, though still better than Utah overall. Monte Vista’s 19.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio is competitive, and its 11.88% free- or reduced-price lunch rate is lower than that of every comparison school, an important context when comparing outcomes. Overall, Monte Vista appears solidly above average, with particular strengths in science and fourth grade, but it would benefit from more consistent results across grades, stronger fifth-grade literacy, improved sixth-grade math, and reduced absenteeism.
