Summary

Fort Herriman Middle is a large grades 7–9 school in Herriman, Utah, serving 1,195 students in the Jordan District. Its 23.1:1 student-teacher ratio is typical for nearby schools. Fort Herriman ranks 31st of 217 Utah schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 86th percentile and earning four stars. That is a significant improvement from 45th of 182 schools the previous year. Although Elk Ridge Middle ranks higher locally at 12th statewide, Fort Herriman is one of the strongest schools in the comparison group.

Academic results are above both district and state levels in eight of nine reported subject-grade areas. Science is the clearest strength, with 62.9% of students proficient in 7th grade, 68.2% in 8th grade, and 60% in 9th grade. The 8th-grade science result is higher than those reported for nearby schools, including South Jordan Middle and Mountain Creek Middle School. ELA and middle-grade math are also generally strong, with 8th-grade math improving from 38.1% to 48.9% over two years. One important weakness is 9th-grade math: proficiency fell to 32.8%, below the district’s 40.7% and Utah’s 39.4%, and below nearly all nearby comparison schools.

Attendance is another notable strength. Chronic absenteeism fell to 11.9% in 2024–2025, well below the Jordan District rate of 21.9% and Utah’s 23.8%; only South Jordan Middle had a lower nearby rate. Fort Herriman also ranked 4th of 106 Utah schools for effectiveness among Hispanic students, a sustained subgroup strength. Its relatively low free- or reduced-price lunch rate—10.04%—provides useful context when comparing overall results with schools serving different student populations. Overall, Fort Herriman combines strong achievement, improving attendance, and solid local competitiveness, with 9th-grade mathematics the clearest priority for improvement.
