Summary

South Jordan Middle in South Jordan, Utah, is a large public school serving grades 7–9, with 1,182 students in the Jordan District and a location surrounded by schools with widely varying academic results. The school ranks 61st out of 217 Utah schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 72nd percentile and earning a four-star rating. Its student-teacher ratio is 23.3, typical for a large middle school.

Academically, South Jordan Middle is a strong local option, though it is not the highest-performing nearby school. Students exceeded Utah’s proficiency rate in eight of nine reported subject-grade combinations, with science standing out: proficiency reached 65.6% in eighth grade and 66.6% in ninth grade. Ninth-grade ELA and math were also above state results. Among nearby schools, Elk Ridge Middle, Mountain Creek Middle School, and Oquirrh Hills Middle currently rank higher, while South Jordan is stronger than schools such as West Hills Middle, Joel P. Jensen Middle, and West Jordan Middle.

Attendance is one of South Jordan Middle’s clearest strengths. Chronic absenteeism was 7.4% in 2024–2025, well below the Jordan District rate of 21.9% and Utah’s 23.8%. The main academic opportunity is mathematics, especially seventh and eighth grades, while the school’s statewide ranking has gradually declined from its earlier top-tier position. Even so, strong science results, favorable subgroup performance, and very low absenteeism give the school a solid foundation. For families comparing local options, South Jordan appears to be a dependable upper-tier school with room to regain some of its former academic standing.
