Summary:
ZIP code 84102 has one listed middle school, Salt Lake Center for Science Education Bryant, serving grades 7–8 in Salt Lake City; the school enrolls 348 students and is part of the Salt Lake District.
Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP code, families cannot compare it with another nearby school in the supplied data. The school has a 15.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio, but several measures point to significant student needs. Nearly 70% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism is 34.6%, higher than both the district rate of 29.3% and Utah’s rate of 23.8%. In practical terms, about one in three students is chronically absent, which may make it harder for students to keep up with coursework. The reported per-student spending figure of $11,798 is from 2018–2019 and should not be considered a current spending amount.
Academic performance is below district and state results in every reported subject and grade. The school’s strongest result is eighth-grade science at 30.3%, while its lowest is eighth-grade mathematics at 14.9%; the district and state eighth-grade math rates are 38.1% and 39.3%. Across both grades, average proficiency is 27.1% in science, 27.0% in English Language Arts, and 20.6% in mathematics. Mathematics and science results also declined from the prior year, including a nine-point drop in eighth-grade math. The school’s ranking fell from the 18th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 9th percentile in 2025–2026, when it received zero stars. The most important areas for families to investigate are math intervention, attendance support, tutoring, and how the school helps students recover missed learning.
