Summary

Daybreak School is a public K–6 elementary school in South Jordan, Utah, serving 701 students in the suburban Jordan District. The school is a typical size for nearby elementary schools, with a 19.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25. Its current statewide standing is mixed: it ranks 367th out of 563 Utah elementary schools, in the 35th percentile, with a two-star rating. This is a significant decline from earlier years, when the school ranked in the 70th to 83rd percentiles.

Daybreak’s current achievement results are generally below district and state averages, particularly in English language arts and mathematics. The most urgent concern is sixth-grade mathematics, where 25.8% of students were proficient, compared with 37.9% in the district and 37.4% statewide. Sixth-grade ELA was also low at 34.0%. Fourth grade is another recurring area of weakness, with below-average results in ELA, math, and science. However, performance is not uniformly low: fifth grade was a bright spot, with ELA proficiency equal to the state average, math above the district average, and science above both district and state results. Science overall is more competitive than ELA or math, especially in fifth and sixth grades.

Compared with nearby schools, Daybreak currently trails most of its local peers. Eastlake School and Golden Fields School rank in the 78th and 74th percentiles, respectively, while Aspen Elementary, Monte Vista School, Midas Creek School, and Rose Creek School also rank higher. Daybreak’s chronic absenteeism rate has improved to 25.2% but remains above district and state rates. Its moderate class size and historical spending do not make it an obvious resource outlier. The main improvement priorities are fourth-grade instruction, sixth-grade ELA and math, and continued attendance efforts.
