Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 84094 include nine public schools serving elementary through high-school students in the Canyons District, which ranks 36th of 92 Utah districts. The area has five elementary schools, two middle schools, Alta High, and a small technical education center, serving about 6,321 students. School quality varies considerably: the two middle schools are the strongest overall, while elementary performance ranges from well above the statewide midpoint to the lower quarter of Utah schools.
Indian Hills Middle and Eastmont Middle stand out as the top choices by current rankings. Indian Hills ranks in the 79th percentile statewide, and Eastmont ranks in the 75th percentile; both have four-star ratings and generally outperform district and state averages in English, math, and science. Among elementary schools, Alta View School is especially strong in fourth- and fifth-grade science, while Altara School performs well in upper-grade English and fifth-grade math. Sprucewood School offers relatively balanced results but ranks closer to the statewide average.
Alta High has a 92.1% graduation rate and a 6.4% dropout rate, both better than district and state comparisons, although tenth-grade math and science need attention. Glacier Hills Elementary and East Sandy School have the lowest elementary rankings; East Sandy also has the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 30%, while Sprucewood’s rate is 26.5%. Glacier Hills has unusually low absenteeism but continued academic challenges, showing that attendance alone does not explain school results. Canyons Technical Education Center serves only eight students, and many performance measures are unavailable, so it cannot be meaningfully compared with the traditional schools.
