Summary:
The 84120 zip code area of West Valley City, Utah is home to 10 schools, including 9 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Granite School District. While the district is ranked 70 out of 93 in the state with an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, a few schools in the area stand out as potential bright spots.
Monticello Academy, a public charter elementary/middle school, has the highest overall performance on test scores compared to the other schools, ranking 352 out of 547 elementary schools statewide with a 2-star rating. Neil Armstrong Academy, a public elementary school, also performs relatively well, ranking 315 out of 547 elementary schools statewide with a 2-star rating. Additionally, Esperanza School, a public charter elementary school, stands out for having relatively high 6th grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science.
However, the data also reveals significant challenges across the schools, including a uniformly high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, there are large disparities in academic performance between the highest and lowest-performing schools, suggesting unequal educational opportunities and resources within the district. The wide range in free/reduced lunch rates, from 37.98% at Neil Armstrong Academy to 75.2% at Philo T. Farnsworth School, indicates that many students in the area face significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact their educational outcomes.
