Summary:
ZIP code 84095 includes 10 schools serving elementary, middle, and high school students in the South Jordan area: six elementary schools, one middle school, and three high schools. Most are part of Jordan District, with additional charter or separate-district options. Together, the schools serve about 7,848 students, but enrollment varies considerably, from 13 students at Rivers Edge School to 2,461 at Bingham High.
Bingham High is the strongest overall high school, ranking 18th of 139 Utah high schools. It has a 95.4% graduation rate, very low chronic absenteeism at 0.4%, and testing results above district and state levels in English, mathematics, and science. Valley High School has a solid 91.4% graduation rate, although some current testing information is incomplete. Paradigm High School needs the most attention, with a 75.8% graduation rate, a 21.2% dropout rate, and 44.6% chronic absenteeism. Among younger grades, South Jordan Middle stands out for strong science results and only 7.4% chronic absenteeism.
For elementary schools, Jordan Ridge School has the highest current ranking, while South Jordan School and Monte Vista School show especially strong results in selected grades and science. Science is generally the most consistent subject across the area, while mathematics is more uneven, particularly at Hawthorn Academy South Jordan and Elk Meadows School. Hawthorn also has high chronic absenteeism, at 37.1%. Parents comparing schools should consider rankings alongside attendance, grade-specific test results, and school size; figures for Rivers Edge School are difficult to compare because of its very small enrollment.
