Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 84044 include eight schools serving about 6,875 students across elementary, middle, high school, and alternative programs in the Magna area. Seven schools belong to Granite District, while Entheos Academy operates separately. The area offers five elementary schools, one junior high, one high school, and one alternative school, but most schools perform below Utah averages and all report higher chronic absenteeism than the state rate.
Entheos Academy Magna has the strongest current test-score profile, with about 27% average proficiency across reported subjects and the lowest student-teacher ratio, though chronic absenteeism remains high at 34.6%. Among Granite schools, Copper Hills School is the strongest overall choice by ranking, test results, and attendance. It has the highest local elementary ranking and the lowest elementary absenteeism rate. Scott M Matheson Junior High has the area’s lowest absenteeism rate at 27.8%, but its statewide ranking remains very low. Results vary substantially by grade, so parents should look beyond schoolwide averages when comparing programs.
The greatest concerns are at Cyprus High and Magna STEAM Academy. Cyprus has a 1st-percentile ranking, 79.9% graduation rate, 18.7% dropout rate, and especially weak mathematics results. Magna STEAM has the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 49.4% and among the lowest academic results. Elk Run Elementary, Pleasant Green School, and Lake Ridge School fall between the strongest and weakest local schools but still face attendance and mathematics challenges. Overall, attendance improvement and stronger math support are the clearest priorities.
