Summary

Silver Crest School is a public elementary school in Herriman, Utah, serving 859 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Jordan School District, which is ranked 48 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Jordan District, Silver Crest School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, currently at 305 out of 547 schools with a 2-star rating. The school's student performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-6th grade math proficiency rates ranged from 34.8% to 50.8%, compared to the district's 38.6% to 49% and the state's 36.4% to 49.6%. Additionally, Silver Crest School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.7% to 27.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Jordan District, Silver Crest School generally underperforms. For instance, Herriman School, located just 0.78 miles away, consistently outperforms Silver Crest School on state assessments, with much higher proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts. While Silver Crest School's Hispanic students and low-socioeconomic status students perform better relative to their peers statewide, the school's White students rank lower, which may be a contributing factor to the overall academic performance challenges.

The principal is the best. She will listen to the parents, the teachers, and really focus on the students. She has the students best interests always in mind. Many great teachers, and wonderful staff. Close Quote

This school is a nightmare. Starting with the principal, an entitled tyrant who encourages bullying, intimidation and acts like a territorial thug. Her patronizing passive-aggressive and condescending approach seems to have influenced everyone working there. Save by a couple of teachers, everyone subjects to her out of fear... Such a pity.
You hear about places like these... but having your child subject to such horrible conditions makes you lose faith in the school system altogether. Best decision in my life was pulling my child out of there. STAY AWAY! Close Quote
