Summary:
ZIP code 84070 has two public middle schools serving grades 6–8: Union Middle and Mt. Jordan Middle, both part of Canyons District, and together serving 1,668 students in the area.
Union Middle serves 911 students and has the strongest attendance profile, with reported chronic absenteeism of just 0.7%, compared with 18.8% for the district and 23.8% statewide. Its current academic information is also more complete. In 2025–2026, science was its strongest subject overall, especially 8th-grade science, where 54.9% of students were proficient—above the statewide rate of 50.8%. Mathematics was the main academic concern, averaging about 31% proficiency, with particularly low results in 6th grade. Union’s ranking also declined from the 50th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 28th percentile in 2025–2026, so families may want to ask about plans to improve math and overall achievement.
Mt. Jordan Middle serves 757 students and has a lower student-teacher ratio than Union—20.3 students per teacher compared with 23.2. Its historical per-student spending was also slightly higher, although those figures are from 2018–2019 and may not reflect current funding. The largest concern is chronic absenteeism: 28.0%, substantially higher than both the district and state rates. Current test scores were not provided for Mt. Jordan, and its available ranking information ends in 2018–2019, so a direct academic comparison is not possible. Overall, Union offers much stronger current attendance and more recent academic data, while Mt. Jordan’s lower student-teacher ratio may be a potential advantage if attendance improves.
