Summary:
ZIP code 84103 includes five schools serving grades PK–12: four elementary schools and one high school, with about 3,960 students overall. The schools are part of the Salt Lake District, except for Open Classroom, which operates in its own Open Classroom district. The area offers very different school profiles, ranging from top statewide elementary performance to significant academic and attendance concerns.
Ensign School is the strongest overall choice in the current data. It ranks 31st of 563 Utah schools, has a five-star rating, and reports strong achievement in English, math, and science. Its chronic absenteeism rate is also the lowest among the local elementary schools. Wasatch School is another solid option, with results generally above district and state averages, although its statewide ranking has fallen considerably in the latest year. Parents may want to watch sixth-grade math, where performance is notably weaker. By contrast, Washington School ranks much lower, has a one-star rating, high chronic absenteeism, and generally low proficiency rates. Its ranking has declined steadily over three years.
West High has a mixed profile. Its seventh- and eighth-grade RISE results are exceptionally strong, but ninth- and tenth-grade Aspire Plus results are much weaker, particularly in high school math. Its graduation rate is below the state rate, though above the district rate. Open Classroom is harder to assess because many test results are reported as ranges rather than exact percentages; its chronic absenteeism rate is the highest in the group. Overall, Ensign stands out for consistent achievement, Wasatch remains strong but merits monitoring, Washington presents the greatest elementary-school concerns, and West High requires closer attention to the transition into high school.
