How good is Daybreak Elementary?
Daybreak Elementary earns a 7 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, which places it above average among Utah public elementary schools. On recent state testing, roughly 53 percent of students scored proficient in reading and 47 percent in math, both above the statewide average for schools serving the same grades.
Class sizes run about 19 students per teacher, a little lighter than many fast-growing west-side schools. It is one of roughly 50 elementary schools in the Jordan School District, and the campus was built with the Daybreak community, so the building is newer than most elementaries in the valley.
Where Daybreak Elementary feeds
Elementary schools matter for the early years, but families usually want to see the whole path. Under the current Jordan School District pattern, the progression runs:
- Elementary: Daybreak Elementary, grades K to 6
- Middle: Mountain Creek Middle School, grades 7 to 9
- High: Herriman High School, grades 10 to 12
Some addresses on the Daybreak side of South Jordan feed Mountain Ridge High instead of Herriman, and the lines have shifted as newer schools opened. Confirm your exact boundary before you rely on a feeder. The Jordan School District boundary tool checks any specific address. You can also explore the wider market on our South Jordan area page.

If schools are steering your South Jordan search, the Daybreak Elementary boundary is an easy one to like: a newer campus, above-average scores, and a walkable community built around parks and the lake. It appeals most to buyers who want newer construction and amenities rather than the larger lots and settled streets of east South Jordan. When you find a home you like, we will confirm its exact attendance area before you write an offer, because a single boundary line can change which schools you feed into.
