How good is Elk Run Elementary?
Elk Run earns a 4 out of 10 GreatSchools rating. On recent state testing, roughly 21 percent of students scored proficient in math and 22 percent in reading, both below the statewide average. Regular attendance has run below the state average in recent years as well, a pattern that tends to weigh on scores.
A single rating misses a lot about a school’s teachers, culture, and programs, and Elk Run is one of the larger elementaries in Magna with a full range of grade sections. Class sizes run near 24 students per teacher. If schools are central to your search, a visit will tell you more than the number alone.
Where Elk Run Elementary feeds
Elementary schools matter for the early years, but families usually want the whole path. Under the current Granite School District pattern, the progression runs:
- Elementary: Elk Run Elementary, grades K to 5
- Junior high: Brockbank or Scott M. Matheson, grades 6 to 8
- High: Cyprus High School, grades 9 to 12
The 2025 reconfiguration moved sixth grade up to the junior highs and ninth grade up to the high schools, and the reopening of Brockbank redrew the line between the two Magna junior highs.

It reflects a community with real economic headwinds rather than any single classroom, and the neighborhood remains one of the best values in the county, with newer homes going up and brand new junior high and high school buildings nearby. When you find a home you like, we will confirm its exact attendance area before you write an offer.
