Summary:
ZIP code 84123 has six elementary schools serving families in Murray, Salt Lake City, and Taylorsville through Murray District and Granite District; most serve kindergarten through sixth grade, while Plymouth School and John C. Fremont School also offer pre-kindergarten and Hartvigsen School serves kindergarten through eighth grade.
Viewmont School is the strongest overall option in the available data, ranking in the 71st statewide percentile with four stars, strong results in English language arts, math, and science, and chronic absenteeism below the state rate. Grant School also stands out, ranking in the 64th percentile and recording the area’s lowest chronic absenteeism at 12.8%; it performs particularly well in math and science. Horizon School is closer to the statewide middle, with two stars and a 48th-percentile ranking. Science is a relative strength there, but sixth-grade English and math results are weaker. Viewmont also has the lowest student-teacher ratio among the larger schools, although ratios at most schools are fairly similar.
Plymouth School and John C. Fremont School need the most attention based on current scores and attendance. Both rank near the bottom statewide, have very low proficiency rates across subjects, and report chronic absenteeism well above the state average. Hartvigsen School has limited current academic data and is difficult to compare because of its very small enrollment, but its 60.5% chronic absenteeism rate is the highest by far. Families comparing schools should consider attendance, grade-specific results, school programs, and student-support services alongside statewide rankings.
