Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 84065 include eight schools serving approximately 5,404 students across grades PK–8, with six schools in Jordan District and two in Summit Academy; most serve kindergarten through sixth grade, while Summit Academy - Independence extends through eighth grade and Summit Academy - Bluffdale serves PK–6.
Summit Academy - Bluffdale is the clear academic leader, ranking 53rd of 563 Utah schools, at the 91st percentile, with 5 stars. It led the area in average English, mathematics, and science proficiency and improved dramatically from the prior year. However, its reported chronic absenteeism rate of 75.1% is exceptionally high, so families may want to ask the school how attendance is measured and what factors may explain it. Among traditional public schools, Riverton School is the strongest overall choice, ranking at the 76th percentile and showing consistently strong results across grades and subjects. Rosamond School also performs well, particularly in mathematics and science.
Southland School offers the area’s lowest chronic absenteeism rate, at 18.5%, along with solid academic results. Rose Creek School is near the middle of the group, while Mountain Point Elementary, Bluffdale School, and Summit Academy - Independence have more mixed results. Mathematics—especially sixth grade mathematics—is a common weakness, while science is generally the strongest subject. Families comparing schools should consider attendance, grade-level results, recent ranking trends, school size, and the different grade spans rather than relying on a single overall ranking.
