Summary

Highland Park School is an elementary school in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving 502 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Salt Lake District, which is ranked 55 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Highland Park School consistently outperforms the Salt Lake District and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 71.1% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in RISE/Mathematics, compared to 50% for the Salt Lake District and 48.6% for the state. However, the school has experienced relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.9% to 33% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

When comparing Highland Park School to nearby schools in the Granite District, such as Olene Walker Elementary, Canyon Rim Academy, and others, Highland Park School consistently outperforms these schools in academic achievement. This suggests that Highland Park School is a high-performing school within its local context, despite its relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, which indicates it may not be serving a socioeconomically diverse population.
