Best Public Schools in Zip Code 84047

Schools in ZIP code 84047 include eight schools serving about 6,460 students in grades K–12, with four elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and two alternative schools; seven are part of Canyons District, which ranks above the state midpoint overall, while Utah Connections Academy operates separately.

Among traditional elementary schools, Midvalley School is the strongest local performer. It has the highest test scores and ranking, the lowest chronic absenteeism among the traditional elementary schools, and recently improved to the 27th percentile statewide, although it still trails district averages. East Midvale School, Midvale School, and Copperview School face more serious combined challenges in attendance and achievement. Copperview ranks near the bottom statewide, with especially low reading and math proficiency, while chronic absenteeism exceeds 40% at all three schools. Midvale Middle has exceptionally low absenteeism at 3%, but its reading, math, and science results remain weak, showing that strong attendance has not yet translated into strong test performance.

At the secondary level, Hillcrest High performs best in science, but its 79.2% graduation rate, 19.1% dropout rate, 21.1% chronic absenteeism, and declining ranking are important concerns; mathematics is its weakest subject. Utah Connections Academy has the strongest completion and attendance outcomes, including a 95.2% graduation rate and only 2.8% chronic absenteeism, although its academic test results are mixed and may not be directly comparable because it is an online school. Jordan Valley School serves a very small, specialized population and should be judged using mission-appropriate measures. Overall, the clearest priorities are improving elementary attendance and foundational skills, strengthening mathematics instruction, and addressing graduation and dropout concerns at Hillcrest.
