Summary:
Elementary schools serving ZIP code 84107 include five schools serving kindergarten through sixth grade, with James E. Moss School also offering prekindergarten. Together, the schools enroll 1,981 students and include one school in the Granite District and four in the Murray District. The schools vary considerably in academic results, attendance, enrollment, and student-teacher ratios, so families may want to compare more than one measure when evaluating options.
Mcmillan School is the strongest overall performer, ranking in the 68th statewide percentile for 2025–2026. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate, at 17.4%, and particularly strong mathematics and science results in grades 4 through 6. Its third-grade English and mathematics results are weaker than its upper-grade performance. Longview School is the most consistent, ranking in the 50th to 56th percentiles over the three reported years. It has moderate absenteeism and generally solid achievement, although sixth-grade mathematics is a relative weakness. These two schools are the only ones in the group above the statewide midpoint.
Parkside School, Liberty School, and James E. Moss School have lower rankings and more significant areas for follow-up. Parkside has the highest chronic absenteeism rate, 42.7%, despite having the lowest student-teacher ratio among the schools. Liberty also has high absenteeism and several low or range-reported assessment results. James E. Moss ranks in the sixth statewide percentile, has the highest student-teacher ratio, and reports consistently low results across subjects. Overall, attendance is one of the clearest differences between the higher- and lower-performing schools, while student-teacher ratios alone do not closely track academic outcomes.
