Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 84121 include 10 schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12 across Canyons District, Granite District, and the Academy for Math, Engineering & Science, with performance ranging from some of Utah’s highest-ranked schools to schools needing substantial academic and attendance improvement.

The strongest overall options are concentrated in Canyons District. Canyon View School is the leading elementary school, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide with a five-star rating and especially strong mathematics results, including 80% proficiency in fifth grade. Butler School is another strong elementary choice, while Butler Middle ranks in the 88th percentile and posted particularly impressive eighth-grade science results. Among high schools, Brighton High has the best overall profile, combining an 89th-percentile ranking, 92.9% graduation rate, 5.9% dropout rate, and the lowest chronic absenteeism in the area. The Academy for Math, Engineering & Science is also a strong specialized option, particularly in mathematics and science, though its yearly results vary more.

Cottonwood High is the clearest area of concern, ranking in the sixth percentile with a 79% graduation rate, 19.4% dropout rate, 43.4% chronic absenteeism, and below-state proficiency in every reported subject. Bella Vista School also warrants careful review because its ranking data is outdated, scores are reported as ranges, and chronic absenteeism is high. Ridgecrest School, Woodstock School, and Oakwood School show mixed but generally moderate results. Across the area, lower absenteeism generally accompanies stronger achievement, while mathematics is the most common academic weakness.
