Summary

Midas Creek School is a K–6 elementary school in Riverton, Utah, serving 759 students in the Jordan District. It is a relatively large neighborhood school with a diverse local community and currently ranks 223rd of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 60th percentile with a three-star rating. Overall, it is a moderately strong school, performing better than several nearby schools but not matching the consistency of the area’s highest-ranked schools.

The school’s strongest area is upper-grade academics. In 2025–26, Midas Creek School exceeded district results in 5th- and 6th-grade ELA, math, and science. Its 6th-grade science proficiency was 66.7%, and its 5th- and 6th-grade math results were also among the best locally. These results compare favorably with Rose Creek School, Monte Vista School, and Southland School in several grades. However, 4th grade is a major concern: ELA proficiency was 33.9% and math proficiency was 32.1%, both well below district and state results. Because 4th-grade math had been much stronger in the previous two years, families may want to view this as an important issue to monitor rather than a settled pattern.

Attendance is another challenge. Chronic absenteeism reached 25.8% in 2024–25, higher than nearby Golden Fields School, Eastlake School, and Southland School, and it has risen steadily since 2022–23. The school’s statewide standing has also declined from the 80th–85th percentile in the late 2010s to the 60th percentile now. Still, Midas Creek School remains stronger overall than Bastian School, Silver Crest School, and Daybreak School. Improving 4th-grade instruction and reducing absenteeism appear to be the clearest opportunities for continued progress.
