Best Public Schools in Zip Code 84084

ZIP code 84084 includes 11 schools serving students from kindergarten through grade 12, including traditional elementary, middle, and high schools as well as virtual and alternative programs. Most are part of Jordan District, while Jim Bridger School belongs to Granite District and Navigator Pointe Academy operates independently. Together, the schools enroll about 4,826 students, but academic performance and attendance vary considerably across the area.

Westland School is the clear academic standout among traditional schools. It ranks in the 71st percentile statewide, has four stars, and generally exceeds district and Utah averages in English language arts, mathematics, and science. West Jordan Middle is stronger than the area’s other middle school, Kelsey Peak Virtual Middle, although mathematics is weak at both schools. Among elementary schools, Jim Bridger School ranks below Westland School but above most other local elementary options. Heartland School and Oquirrh School recently improved their rankings, though both remain below the statewide midpoint.

Attendance is a major issue for many schools. Chronic absenteeism is especially high at Navigator Pointe Academy, Heartland School, Jim Bridger School, Oquirrh School, and Mountain Shadows School. High school families should examine Kings Peak High carefully: its 82.7% graduation rate is below district and state averages, its dropout rate is substantially higher, and mathematics results are very low. Overall, the most important questions for families are whether a school offers the right instructional setting, how it supports attendance, and how it addresses mathematics and graduation progress. Virtual and alternative schools should be compared separately because their programs and student populations differ from traditional schools.
