Summary:
ZIP code 84095 contains six elementary schools serving the South Jordan area: five conventional K–6 schools and Rivers Edge School, a very small K–8 school with only 13 students. The five larger schools serve 3,484 students combined and show a wide range of academic results, rankings, and attendance patterns. Most schools are part of Jordan District, while Hawthorn Academy South Jordan belongs to Hawthorn Academy.
Jordan Ridge School is the strongest overall performer, ranking 149th of 563 Utah schools and posting the highest average results across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among the larger schools. South Jordan School is another strong option, with a stable ranking around 174th and the highest individual score in the group: 76.5% proficiency in sixth-grade Science. Both schools generally outperform district and state comparisons. Monte Vista School ranks in the middle but has excellent fourth-grade results, especially in Mathematics and Science; however, its overall ranking has declined in recent years.
Elk Meadows School has strengths in fifth-grade performance and sixth-grade Science, but its ranking fell sharply to 277th, with especially low third-grade ELA and Mathematics results. Hawthorn Academy South Jordan faces the greatest challenges, ranking 350th, recording the lowest average proficiency, and reporting 37.1% chronic absenteeism—well above the state rate. Science is the strongest subject across the area, while ELA and Mathematics need more attention. Rivers Edge School should be evaluated separately because its tiny enrollment, K–8 grade span, and lack of comparable current test results make direct comparisons unreliable.
