How good is Bella Vista Elementary?

Bella Vista is a small neighborhood school, and small schools can be harder to read from ratings alone. On recent state testing, roughly 62 percent of students scored proficient in math and 47 percent in reading. Class sizes are small, around 16 students per teacher, which is lighter than most Canyons District elementaries.

Its current GreatSchools rating sits at 4 out of 10, and regular attendance has run below the Utah average. With only about 219 students, year-to-year numbers can swing more than they would at a larger campus. If Bella Vista is on your list, look at the underlying measures, ask about the specific grade your child would enter, and tour in person before you decide.

A local broker’s take

Bella Vista is a small, close-knit school in a desirable pocket of Cottonwood Heights, and its ratings deserve context rather than a quick pass or fail. Small campuses show more swing in the numbers, and a 4 out of 10 GreatSchools rating sits alongside solid math scores and very small classes. For the right family, that trade can be a good one, but it is worth a visit. Whatever you decide on the school, the location feeds the well-regarded Butler Middle and Brighton High track. When you find a home you like, we will confirm its exact attendance area before you write an offer.
