Golden Fields School

Golden Fields School is a public K–6 school in South Jordan, Utah, serving 854 students in the growing Jordan District area. Its 2025–2026 statewide ranking places it 146th of 563 Utah schools, in the 74th percentile, and it holds a four-star SchoolDigger rating. The school ranks third among nearby schools in the Jordan District, behind Eastlake School and Jordan Hills School. Its long-term record is encouraging: after ranking in the 63rd percentile in 2018–2019, it has remained in the mid-70s in recent years.

Mathematics is Golden Fields’ clearest strength. In 2025–2026, proficiency ranged from 57.2% to 62.0% in grades 3–6, averaging about 59.8%—well above both district and Utah averages. Sixth-grade math was especially notable and was stronger than results at Eastlake, Jordan Hills, and Welby School. Science was also consistently strong, averaging about 63.6% across grades 4–6, with 69.9% proficiency in sixth grade. English Language Arts was above district and state averages in every tested grade, but the school’s advantage was smaller; Eastlake and Jordan Hills generally posted higher ELA results. This makes ELA, particularly in grades 4–6, the clearest opportunity for Golden Fields to narrow the gap with its strongest local competitors.

Attendance is another positive feature. Chronic absenteeism was 20.9% in 2024–2025, below the district’s 21.9% and Utah’s 23.8%, and it has improved steadily since 2021–2022. Golden Fields’ student-teacher ratio was 20.6:1, a middle-of-the-pack figure locally rather than an unusually small or large staffing ratio. The school’s 12.3% free- or reduced-price lunch rate was also lower than those reported for nearby schools such as Aspen Elementary, Jordan Hills School, and Copper Canyon School, providing useful context when comparing outcomes. Overall, Golden Fields combines strong achievement, particularly in upper-grade math and science, with improving attendance.
