Summary:
ZIP code 84094 has five public elementary schools serving kindergarten through fifth grade in the Canyons District. Together, they enroll about 2,448 students, or roughly 490 students per school. The district ranks 36th of 92 Utah districts, placing it in the 61st percentile. Across the area, average reported proficiency is about 47.9% in the 2025–26 RISE results, although performance varies considerably by school, grade, and subject.
The strongest overall choices are Alta View School and Altara School. Alta View has the highest state ranking—208th of 563 schools, or the 63rd percentile—and is especially strong in fourth- and fifth-grade science, including 69.0% proficiency in fifth grade. Altara ranks just behind it but has the highest average across the reported assessment results, with notable performance in third-grade ELA and fifth-grade mathematics. Sprucewood School offers more balanced, middle-of-the-group results and ranks in the 55th percentile. Its academic performance is respectable, but chronic absenteeism is relatively high at 26.5%.
East Sandy School ranks lower academically but has shown meaningful improvement, rising from the 24th to the 39th percentile over three years. Its biggest concern is attendance: 30.0% of students were chronically absent, the highest rate in the ZIP code. Glacier Hills Elementary has the area’s strongest attendance, with only 6.4% chronic absenteeism, but the weakest academic results and a 26th-percentile ranking. Overall, parents comparing schools may want to weigh Alta View’s science strength, Altara’s broad achievement profile, Sprucewood’s consistency, East Sandy’s improvement, and Glacier Hills’ exceptional attendance practices.
