Summary

Nibley Park School is a public school in Salt Lake City serving 483 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade in a diverse, economically mixed community. The school is part of the Salt Lake District, which ranks 60th of 92 Utah districts. Nibley Park’s statewide standing has improved substantially, rising from the 13th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 54th percentile in 2025–2026, when it received three stars. Its 15:1 student-teacher ratio is one of the more favorable among nearby schools.

Academic results show clear strengths in selected elementary grades. Fourth grade stands out, with 65.2% proficient in English language arts, 56.5% in math, and 65.2% in science—above both district and state results in each subject. Sixth-grade results were also encouraging, especially math, at 46.7% compared with 36.2% in the district and 37.4% statewide. However, achievement drops in the middle grades: eighth-grade proficiency was 27.5% in English language arts, 20% in math, and 30% in science. Seventh-grade results were reported as 20–50% in English language arts, under 40% in math, and under 40% in science, so exact values are not available.

Nibley Park currently outperforms several nearby Granite District schools, including Lincoln School, James E. Moss School, Olene Walker Elementary, and Woodrow Wilson School. It trails higher-performing schools such as Highland Park School, Dilworth School, Emerson School, and William Penn School. Chronic absenteeism improved to 28.9% but remains above Utah’s 23.8%. Overall, the school appears to be recovering, with its biggest opportunity being stronger attendance and a more effective transition into grades 7 and 8.

I've got two kids at Nibley Park. The teachers have been great, the administration has been incredible. We're very involved and feel heard and appreciated. We love the demographics at the school and the community atmosphere. Close Quote

Nibley Park doesn't care about their students. Their after school program is run by children. This is by far the worst school I have ever had to deal with. Close Quote
