Summary

Oquirrh School is an elementary school located in West Jordan, Utah, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 521 students. It is part of the Jordan School District, which is ranked 48th out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Oquirrh School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 399 and 535 out of 526-572 schools.

Oquirrh School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and socioeconomic factors. The school consistently performs significantly below the Jordan District and state averages in RISE assessments for Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate was 19.6% compared to 47.5% for the Jordan District and 48.6% for the state. Additionally, Oquirrh School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.7% to 40.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 39.16% to 55.47% over the past few years.

When comparing Oquirrh School to the nearby schools within the Jordan School District, it consistently performs worse on standardized tests and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. For example, Westland School, which is only 0.33 miles away, consistently ranks in the top 25% of Utah elementary schools and has significantly higher test scores across all subjects and grade levels. This highlights the disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes within the district, which may require a closer examination of resource allocation and support strategies.
