Summary

Ensign School is a public elementary school in Salt Lake City’s 12th Avenue area, serving 361 students in pre-K through sixth grade as part of the Salt Lake District. It is a notably strong school within a district that ranks around the middle statewide: Ensign ranked 31st of 563 Utah elementary schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 94th percentile. That improved substantially from 73rd the previous year and continues a longer record of high performance.

Ensign’s academic results are well above both district and state averages in every reported grade and subject. Average proficiency was about 70% in English language arts, 69.6% in math, and 72.3% in science. The school was especially strong in third-grade math, fourth-grade ELA, and sixth-grade science. Compared with nearby schools, Ensign generally outperformed Emerson School and Wasatch School, and it ranked far above Washington School, Rose Park School, and Franklin School. However, Uintah School and Bonneville School ranked even higher statewide and posted stronger math and science results.

The clearest opportunity is consistency in the upper grades: ELA and math proficiency generally dip in fifth and sixth grade compared with earlier grades. Attendance also deserves attention. Chronic absenteeism was 22.1% in 2024–25—better than the district’s 29.3% and the state’s 23.8%, but higher than Uintah’s 12.6% and Bonneville’s 14.8%. Ensign’s student-teacher ratio was a moderate 19.5, showing that its strong outcomes do not depend on having the smallest classes among nearby schools. Overall, Ensign offers strong, broad academic performance, with attendance and upper-grade achievement as the main areas to monitor.
