Summary:
The 84044 zip code area in Utah is home to 5 elementary schools, all part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 70th out of 93 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. These schools serve grades PK-6 and range in size from 398 to 679 students.
Among the schools, Copper Hills School stands out as a public magnet elementary school with the highest performance on state assessments across multiple grade levels and subjects compared to the other schools in the data set. For example, in 2023-2024, 32.2% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district average of 34.4% and the state average of 46.7%. In math, 35.9% of 4th graders were proficient or better, compared to the district's 37.5% and the state's 49.9%. Pleasant Green School also performs relatively well, with higher proficiency rates in math and science in several grade levels.
However, the remaining schools in the 84044 zip code area generally perform significantly below the district and state averages on state assessments in math, science, and English language arts. All 5 schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve predominantly low-income communities, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable funding and resource allocation could be crucial in improving educational outcomes for the students in this community.
