Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 84045 include 12 schools serving grades PK–12 and about 12,313 students, with seven elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and three alternative programs. Most belong to Alpine District, which ranks in the upper half of Utah districts. The area has a wide range of school sizes, from small alternative programs to the 3,052-student Westlake High.
The strongest elementary choices based on recent rankings and test results are Riverview School, Harvest School, and Saratoga Shores School. Riverview ranked at the 91st percentile statewide and had especially strong mathematics and English results, including 77.6% proficiency in third-grade math. Harvest was also strong across math and science, while Saratoga Shores posted the area’s highest individual result: 81.3% in sixth-grade science. Lake Mountain Middle was the strongest middle school, ranking at the 75th percentile and exceeding district and state results in nearly every listed assessment. By comparison, Thunder Ridge School and Harbor Point Elementary had more uneven academic results, particularly in mathematics, although both improved their rankings.
Westlake High stands out for outcomes beyond test scores, with a 96.6% graduation rate and a 2.2% dropout rate, both substantially better than state comparisons; however, its statewide ranking declined over three years. Attendance is an important issue across several schools: chronic absenteeism was high at Horizon School, Springside School, and Riverview, while Elevated Charter School reported lower absenteeism and a smaller student-teacher ratio. The alternative schools serve distinct populations, and some of their achievement data is incomplete or reported in ranges, so comparisons should be made cautiously. Overall, families will find the strongest academic profiles at Riverview, Harvest, Saratoga Shores, and Lake Mountain, alongside meaningful attendance and math-performance differences among schools.
