Summary
Hayden Peak School is a public K–6 elementary school in West Jordan, Utah, serving 723 students in the Jordan District, a large suburban district ranked 52nd of 92 Utah districts. The school is relatively large for the area and has a one-star rating, ranking 401st of 563 Utah elementary schools, or at the 29th percentile, for 2025–2026.
The academic picture is mixed. Third grade is a clear bright spot: 46.5% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, nearly matching district and state results, while 55.3% were proficient in math, exceeding both comparisons. Results weaken in the upper grades, especially fifth grade, where proficiency was 23.4% in ELA, 30.4% in math, and 34.1% in science. Overall, average proficiency was 36.3% in ELA, 39.4% in math, and 42.8% in science—below district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is another important concern: 30.0% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, higher than the district’s 21.9% and the state’s 23.8%. The student-teacher ratio of 22.2 is also the highest among the listed nearby comparison schools.
Among ten nearby Jordan District schools, Hayden Peak School ranks sixth, essentially tied with Copper Canyon School. It ranks ahead of Falcon Ridge School, Mountain Shadows School, Terra Linda School, and Columbia School, but trails Jordan Hills School, which ranks at the 77th percentile and has lower absenteeism. The school’s ranking has also fallen from the 65th percentile in 2016–2017. Key areas to examine are attendance, fifth-grade support, upper-grade literacy and science, and staffing pressures.
