Summary

Indian Hills School is a public school in Salt Lake City serving 467 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade, located in an area with several highly regarded nearby elementary schools. Although it belongs to the Salt Lake District, which ranks 60th out of 92 Utah districts, the school ranked 1st among 563 Utah elementary schools in 2025–2026 and also ranked 1st the year before. It has earned five stars in each of those years.

Academic results are the school’s biggest strength. In 2025–2026, proficiency averaged approximately 84.3% in English language arts, 87.2% in math, and 92.8% in science across the reported grades—far above both district and state averages. Science stood out, with 92.1% of fourth graders, 96.5% of fifth graders, and 89.8% of sixth graders proficient. Fifth-grade math was also especially strong at 91.2%. The school generally outperformed nearby high-achieving schools such as Bonneville School, Uintah School, and Highland Park School, though those schools occasionally posted higher results in individual grades. Sixth-grade ELA at 78.0% was a relative soft spot, but still well above district and state levels.

Attendance is another favorable indicator: chronic absenteeism was 15.9% in 2024–2025, compared with 29.3% in the Salt Lake District and 23.8% statewide. The school also showed notable recent improvement, particularly in fifth-grade math and science. Its 21.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio is somewhat high compared with some nearby schools, so its results are not simply the product of unusually small classes. About 13.49% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively advantaged enrollment profile compared with several nearby schools. Overall, Indian Hills School combines exceptional achievement, strong attendance, and upward momentum.

Indian Hills is a great school. We have 3 kids enrolled and have been so impressed by the teachers and administrators. They take an active interest in each student and it is a very positive community. They also have well qualified hands-on science, art and other specialist instructors. I especially love the location. It is tucked away and feels so private and safe. The class sizes are relatively small and the kids seem close knit. Close Quote
