Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 84102 include three schools serving different age groups: East High serves grades 9–12, Salt Lake Center for Science Education Bryant serves grades 7–8, and City Academy is a small alternative school serving grades K–12. There are no elementary schools listed in the ZIP code. The schools differ greatly in size, from 1,764 students at East to 92 at City Academy, so their results are best compared by school type and student population rather than as direct equivalents.
Attendance is a significant concern across the area. Chronic absenteeism was 36.5% at East, 34.6% at Bryant, and 45.2% at City Academy, all above Utah’s 23.8% rate. East had a 78.2% graduation rate, close to the Salt Lake District rate of 77.4% but below the state rate of 89.8%; its dropout rate was 21.1%. East and Bryant both received weak 2025–2026 statewide rankings, at the 11th and 9th percentiles, respectively. Bryant’s ranking declined to zero stars, despite having a lower student-teacher ratio than East—15.2 compared with 21.1. Bryant also serves a larger share of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals, at 69.83%.
Academic results suggest that mathematics is the most consistent weakness at East and Bryant, with proficiency as low as 20.9% in East’s 10th-grade math and 14.9% in Bryant’s 8th-grade math. City Academy has a much smaller student-teacher ratio of 6.3 and potentially stronger results in selected subjects, including reported ranges of 60–78% in 9th-grade science and 50–68% in 10th-grade ELA. However, its small enrollment means many results are reported as ranges or limits, and its 10th-grade math result was under 20%. Families comparing these schools should weigh grade level, school size, attendance, academic needs, and program type rather than relying on rankings alone.
