Summary

Southland School is an elementary school located in Riverton, Utah, serving 614 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Jordan School District, which is ranked 48 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Southland School has a history of strong performance, consistently outperforming the Jordan District and state averages in mathematics, science, and English language arts across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 73.3% of 4th-grade students at Southland School were proficient or better in RISE Mathematics, compared to 49% for the Jordan District and 49.6% for the state. The school's science proficiency rates are also impressive, with 71% of 4th-graders and 67.3% of 6th-graders scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025. However, Southland School's ranking has declined slightly in recent years, dropping from 119th out of 559 schools in 2020-2021 to 166th out of 547 schools in 2024-2025.

Southland School generally outperforms the nearby schools in the Jordan District, including Monte Vista School, Bluffdale School, South Jordan School, Midas Creek School, Riverton School, and Rosamond School, in terms of test scores and overall school ranking. However, the school's higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower per-student spending compared to some nearby schools are areas that warrant further investigation and improvement.
