Summary

South Jordan School is a public K–6 elementary school in the South Jordan area, serving 863 students in a relatively large school community. It is part of Jordan District and ranks 174th of 563 Utah elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it at about the 69th percentile. The school earns a three-star rating in the supplied data and has generally performed above the statewide midpoint, although its recent standing is below earlier years when it ranked between the 79th and 83rd percentiles.

Academically, South Jordan’s clearest strengths are science and mathematics. In 2025–2026, about 65.2% of students were proficient in science on average, compared with 55.0% statewide, while mathematics averaged 54.1%, compared with 45.7% statewide. Sixth-grade science was especially strong at 76.5%, and fourth-grade mathematics reached 63.8%. English language arts results were also generally above state levels, particularly in third grade, but fifth-grade ELA remains a watch area: 44.6% were proficient, slightly below Utah’s 45.9%. Fifth-grade mathematics has been inconsistent but improved to 47.3% from 40.6% the prior year. These results suggest a solid, broad academic program with the greatest opportunity in selected fifth-grade outcomes.

Among nearby schools, South Jordan ranks below Jordan Ridge School and Riverton School, but above Elk Meadows School, Southland School, and Monte Vista School. American Preparatory Academy - Draper #2 is a much stronger academic comparison, ranking at the 97th percentile, though it operates in a different system. Attendance is South Jordan’s main operational concern: chronic absenteeism was 23.9%, close to the Utah rate but above the district’s 21.9% and higher than Jordan Ridge’s 20.6%. Its 21.5 student-teacher ratio is reasonable but somewhat less favorable than several nearby schools.
