Summary

Golden Fields School is an elementary school in South Jordan, Utah, serving 873 students in grades K-6. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the Jordan District and the state of Utah in academic achievement, particularly in Mathematics and Science.

In the 2024-2025 school year, 52.8% of 3rd-grade students at Golden Fields School were proficient or better in RISE/Mathematics, compared to 47.5% for the Jordan District and 48.6% for the state. The school's performance is especially strong in Science, with 6th-grade students achieving an 80.8% proficiency rate, significantly higher than the Jordan District (58.4%) and the state (56.5%). When compared to nearby schools, Welby School, Jordan Hills School, and Elk Meadows School, Golden Fields School consistently outperforms them in Mathematics and Science.

However, the school does have a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average, ranging from 22.0% to 25.2% over the past few years. This is an area of concern that the school may need to address. Additionally, Golden Fields School serves a population with a higher socioeconomic status, with only 6.66% to 12.37% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. Despite this, the school maintains a relatively efficient spending profile, with a per-student spending of $6,745 for the 2018-2019 school year, slightly higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools.
