Summary

Copper Canyon School is an elementary school located in West Jordan, Utah, serving 520 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Jordan District, which is ranked 48 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Copper Canyon School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years.

Copper Canyon School faces several significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.7% to 36.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores in RISE Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are consistently lower than the Jordan District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade math proficiency rate was 21.3%, compared to 42.5% for the district and 44.4% for the state. Copper Canyon School also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 28.69% to 44.23% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools like Golden Fields School, Welby School, and Jordan Hills School, Copper Canyon School's performance lags significantly, with higher chronic absenteeism, lower test scores, and a higher proportion of students from low-income families. This suggests that the school may be facing systemic challenges that have not been adequately addressed, and targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve the school's performance and address the specific needs of its student population.
