Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 84128 include five schools serving about 2,683 students in grades PK–6 or K–6. Four schools are part of Granite District, while Ascent Academies of Utah operates one charter school. The area’s schools serve communities with relatively high economic need and attendance challenges: free/reduced-price lunch participation ranges from 36.1% to 54.4%, and every school’s chronic absenteeism rate is above the statewide rate.
West Valley School is the strongest overall option based on the available measures. It ranks 416th of 563 statewide, the highest local ranking, and has the best average proficiency across the reported 2025–2026 assessments, about 37.7%. Its strongest results include fifth-grade science, ELA, and mathematics. Ascent Academies of Utah–West Valley ranks second locally and has shown significant ranking improvement, along with particularly strong fifth- and sixth-grade science results. However, it has the area’s highest chronic absenteeism rate at 42.7% and the highest free/reduced-price lunch participation.
Whittier School occupies a middle position, with comparatively solid mathematics results in some grades but high chronic absenteeism. Gearld Wright STEM Academy has lower absenteeism than most local schools but weak current academic results and a sharp recent ranking decline. Hillside School has the lowest ranking and lowest overall assessment average, particularly in fifth-grade mathematics and science. Across the area, parents may want to focus on school-specific performance, attendance supports, and mathematics results rather than relying only on district affiliation, program labels, or student–teacher ratios.
