Summary
Westland School is a K–6 elementary school in West Jordan, Utah, serving approximately 595 students in the Jordan District in a suburban area with several nearby elementary schools. It ranks 165th among 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 71st percentile statewide, and has a four-star SchoolDigger rating. Westland is ranked 52nd of 92 schools in its district, making it a solidly above-average school statewide and a particularly strong option compared with most nearby Jordan schools.
Westland’s academic results are broad and consistently strong. In 2025–2026, its average proficiency was approximately 56.6% in English Language Arts, 53.5% in mathematics, and 59.8% in science—above both district and Utah averages in nearly every reported subject and grade. Fourth grade is a standout, with 60.8% proficiency in ELA, 64.6% in mathematics, and 66.3% in science. Westland also leads nearby Jordan schools such as Oquirrh School, Westvale School, Heartland School, Terra Linda School, and Columbia School by substantial margins on many assessments. Among nearby Granite District schools, Calvin S. Smith School is the stronger overall competitor, while Westland generally compares favorably with Fox Hills School and Bennion School.
The school’s main areas to monitor are attendance, sixth-grade performance, and class size. Chronic absenteeism was 24.0% in 2024–2025, close to the Utah rate but higher than the district rate, although still better than most nearby Jordan schools. Sixth-grade science was a relative weak point at 54.7%, below district and state results. Westland’s student-teacher ratio was 20.8, less favorable than most nearby Jordan elementary schools, but still lower than the ratios reported by the nearby Granite schools. Its statewide percentile has eased from 84th in 2020–2021 to 71st in 2025–2026, yet the school has retained a four-star rating and remains a strong, academically effective local choice.
