Summary:
Zip code 84095 has one listed middle school, South Jordan Middle, serving grades 7–9 in South Jordan, Utah, with 1,182 students.
South Jordan Middle is a strong overall performer compared with both Jordan District and Utah. In 2025–2026, its average proficiency across the available English language arts, math, and science results was about 53%, compared with 47% for the district and 45% statewide. Science is the school’s standout subject: proficiency averaged 63.5% across grades, and 9th-grade science reached 66.6%, exceeding the state by nearly 17 percentage points. ELA was also strong in 8th and 9th grade, with results 8.6 and 6.5 points above the district, respectively. The school has maintained a four-star rating and ranked around the top quarter of Utah schools in each of the past three reported years.
Mathematics is the main area parents may want to examine more closely. The school’s overall math average was 42.9%, only slightly above district and state averages. Seventh-grade math trailed both comparison groups, while 8th-grade math was nearly equal to the state average and declined 10.7 points from the previous year. Ninth-grade math performed better than both benchmarks but also fell year over year. Attendance is a notable strength: chronic absenteeism was 7.4%, far below the district’s 21.9% and Utah’s 23.8%. Families should also note the relatively high student-teacher ratio of 23.3 and that the reported spending figure is from 2018–2019, so it may not reflect current resources. Overall, the school offers especially strong science, solid upper-grade ELA, very favorable attendance, and generally above-average performance, with math stabilization as the clearest improvement priority.
