Summary

Butterfield Canyon School is a K–6 elementary school in Herriman serving 704 students in the Jordan District, in a competitive suburban area with several nearby elementary-school options. For 2025–2026, it ranked in the 48th percentile statewide, placing it around the middle of Utah schools. That was a notable drop from the 61st percentile in 2024–2025, so the latest results deserve attention even though the school is not among the lowest-performing schools in the area.

Academically, the picture varies by grade and subject. Science is the clearest strength, with approximately 59.1% proficiency overall and an especially strong sixth-grade result of 72.9%. Sixth-grade ELA and math were also above district and state averages. The main concerns are fourth- and fifth-grade performance: fourth-grade ELA proficiency was 33.7%, fourth-grade math was 38.5%, and fifth-grade math was 30.4%, compared with 40.0% districtwide and 45.0% statewide. Overall, Butterfield Canyon’s ELA proficiency was approximately 44.6%, math was 42.3%, and science was 59.1%. These results suggest targeted needs in upper-elementary literacy and math rather than uniformly weak instruction.

Compared with nearby schools, Butterfield Canyon School trails Herriman School at the 85th percentile, Blackridge School at the 71st, Aspen Elementary at the 65th, and Oak Leaf Elementary at the 55th. It ranks ahead of Foothills School, Silver Crest School, and Bastian School. Chronic absenteeism improved to 21.8%, slightly better than the district and state rates, while the 22.1 student–teacher ratio remains relatively high locally. Overall, the school’s strongest assets are science, sixth-grade achievement, and improving attendance; its clearest priorities are fourth- and fifth-grade outcomes and reversing the recent ranking decline.

I moved here a few years ago and have been very pleased with the school. The office staff is friendly and helpful. The administration is attentive. The teachers care and have definitely helped my children learn and grow. There is great parent involvement and programs that help slower learners as well as the accelerated learners. Definitely a great school! Close Quote
