Summary

Riverton School is a K–6 elementary school in the Riverton area of Utah, serving 657 students at 13150 S 1830 W as part of the Jordan District. The school ranks 134th out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it at the 76th percentile statewide and earning four out of five stars. This is an improvement from 170th place and the 69th percentile the previous year, making Riverton one of the stronger traditional public elementary schools in its area.

Riverton’s academic results are consistently above district and state averages. In 2025–2026, it exceeded both benchmarks in all reported English language arts, mathematics, and science measures. Average proficiency was 55.5% in ELA, 55.6% in math, and 66.6% in science. Fourth grade was a particular strength, with 66.3% proficiency in ELA, 61.1% in math, and 71% in science. Math performance was also broadly reliable, including a strong 53.6% sixth-grade result compared with 37.9% in the district. ELA was more uneven, especially in fifth grade, where proficiency was 47.7%. Among nearby Jordan District schools, Riverton currently ranks ahead of South Jordan School, Rosamond School, Southland School, and the other supplied comparisons.

The main concern is chronic absenteeism. Riverton’s 24.7% rate in 2024–2025 was above the district’s 21.9% and Utah’s 23.8%, although it improved considerably from 30.8% in 2021–2022. Riverton also serves a somewhat higher share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch than nearby district schools, at 24.2%, providing useful context for its strong results. Nearby charter schools such as American Preparatory Academy – Draper #2 and Summit Academy – Bluffdale rank higher overall, but Riverton is a strong, improving choice among traditional neighborhood schools.

My son was in Judy Clarke's 1st grade class. He loved her. I (mother) was able to volunteer some of my time in her classroom. She showed great patience and kind discipline with her students and they all seemed to love her for it. Her classroom is under control and yet she gives the kids opportunity to govern their own work. I would reccommend Mrs. Clarke for any student. She is the kind of teacher that I hope my son gets every year. I have also been very impressed by the secretaries. They are very organized and polite with all visitors to the school. The pricipal, Mr. Giles is very hands on. My son, and many other students, earned the chance to spray Mr. Giles with silly string. I have seen him in my sons classsroom and the kids are very excited to show him what they've been doing. Overall, we have had an amazing experience with Riverton Elementary. Close Quote
