Summary:
The 84105 zip code area of Salt Lake City, Utah is home to 3 high-performing elementary schools: Uintah School, Hawthorne School, and Emerson School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and are part of the Salt Lake District.
Uintah School and Hawthorne School stand out as exceptional performers, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Utah over the past 3 years and earning 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Both schools boast impressive test scores, with 70-90% of students proficient or better in core subjects. In contrast, Emerson School, while still performing above district and state averages, has a lower statewide ranking and 3-4 star rating.
The data also reveals some interesting differences between the schools. Uintah School has a much lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it may serve a more affluent student population. Additionally, Uintah has a higher student-teacher ratio of 21.6, compared to 15.3 at Emerson School and 18.7 at Hawthorne School, which may contribute to its exceptional academic performance. However, all 3 schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, around 23-24%, which is an area of concern that the schools and district may need to address.
