Best Public Schools in Zip Code 84009

ZIP code 84009 includes 10 schools serving grades K–12: five elementary schools, two middle schools, one high school, and two alternative schools, with about 8,258 students across Jordan District and several public charter organizations. Overall, the area offers several strong options, but school performance varies considerably by grade, subject, and attendance. The clearest academic leader is Elk Ridge Middle, ranked in the 94th statewide percentile and performing above district and state comparisons in every listed subject. Mountain Creek Middle School is also well regarded, ranking in the 79th percentile, although its eighth-grade mathematics result was notably weaker than its other scores.

Among elementary schools, Eastlake School and Golden Fields School have the strongest overall academic profiles. Eastlake stands out in science and maintains relatively low absenteeism, while Golden Fields leads in mathematics and has the lowest reported free- and reduced-price lunch participation among the elementary schools. Welby School combines improving rankings with the lowest chronic absenteeism among the Jordan elementary schools. Aspen Elementary has made the largest ranking improvement but needs attention to its relatively high absenteeism. Daybreak School is the main elementary concern, ranking in the 35th percentile and showing especially weak sixth-grade mathematics.

The alternative schools differ substantially. Early Light Academy at Daybreak generally posts stronger results across grades K–9 and has relatively favorable attendance. Mountain West Montessori Academy has weaker elementary results, though some middle- and ninth-grade scores are more competitive. American Academy of Innovation has the most urgent challenges: chronic absenteeism is 56.3%, graduation is below the state rate, dropout is above it, and mathematics performance is particularly low despite a favorable student-teacher ratio. Across the area, science is generally the strongest elementary subject, while mathematics and attendance show the greatest variation.
