Summary

Terra Linda School is a K–6 elementary school in West Jordan serving 474 students in the Jordan District, an area with a wide range of school performance among nearby elementary schools. Terra Linda ranks 511th of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 9th percentile, and has a SchoolDigger rating of 0 stars. Its 15.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio is comparatively favorable, but its academic and attendance results are well below district and state levels.

In 2025–26, Terra Linda’s average proficiency was approximately 23.6% in English language arts, 18.8% in mathematics, and 34.4% in science. Mathematics is the clearest area of concern, especially third grade, where just 11.3% of students were proficient. Sixth grade is the school’s strongest grade across subjects, but its results still trail district and state averages. The contrast with nearby schools is substantial: Jordan Hills School, Jordan Ridge School, Westland School, and Welby School rank between the 71st and 77th statewide percentiles, while Terra Linda ranks at the 9th percentile.

Attendance is another major challenge. Chronic absenteeism reached 36.6% in 2024–25, compared with 21.9% in the district and 23.8% statewide, and it has remained above 33% for four consecutive reported years. Terra Linda’s free/reduced-price lunch participation also rose to 53.8%, providing important context about student support needs but not explaining individual or school outcomes by itself. Nearby schools such as Oquirrh School, Westvale School, and Columbia School also face notable challenges, while Elk Meadows School performs closer to the state midpoint. The most important areas to examine are foundational math and literacy, sustained attendance support, and practices used by higher-performing nearby schools.
