Schools in ZIP code 84128 include five primarily elementary schools serving grades from Pre-K or kindergarten through sixth grade, with no middle or high schools located in the area. Four schools are part of Granite District, while Ascent Academies of Utah - West Valley is a charter school. Together, they enroll 2,683 students. School quality varies considerably, with current statewide rankings ranging from the 4th to the 26th percentile, and every school reporting chronic absenteeism above Utah’s 23.8% state rate.
West Valley School has the strongest overall profile. It ranks highest locally, has the best average assessment results, and performs better than the other Granite District schools across the tested subjects. Its strongest results are in fifth-grade science, ELA, and mathematics. Its 29.2% chronic absenteeism rate is lower than the local Granite District average, although it remains above the state rate. Ascent Academies of Utah - West Valley has shown the greatest ranking improvement in recent years and has especially strong sixth-grade ELA and science results. However, its 42.7% chronic absenteeism rate is the highest in the area, and its performance varies sharply by grade.
Whittier School has made modest ranking progress and shows relative strengths in third- and fifth-grade mathematics, but its attendance rate is a concern. Gearld Wright STEM Academy has the lowest local absenteeism rate, yet its academic results and current ranking are among the weakest, suggesting that attendance is not its only challenge. Hillside School also ranks near the bottom statewide and combines low proficiency with the area’s highest student-teacher ratio among the listed Granite District schools. Across the ZIP code, science is generally the strongest subject, while fourth grade is often a weak point. Families comparing schools should weigh academic consistency, attendance, class size, and each child’s grade level rather than relying on one measure alone.
