Glacier Hills Elementary School, Sandy

The short answer

Glacier Hills Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades K to 5 in the Canyons School District, in Sandy, Utah. It opened in the fall of 2022 on the former Edgemont Elementary campus, combining the students of the old Bell View Elementary and Edgemont Elementary into one new school. So if you are house hunting under either of those older names, Glacier Hills is where those neighborhoods now go. It carries a 6 out of 10 GreatSchools rating. Under the current feeder pattern, most Glacier Hills students move on to Eastmont Middle School for grades 6 to 8, then Jordan High School for grades 9 to 12.

A new school with deep roots

Glacier Hills is one of the newest elementary buildings in Sandy, but the community behind it is not new at all. In 2022 the Canyons School District brought together two of its oldest schools, Bell View Elementary and Edgemont Elementary, which sat less than a mile apart, and rebuilt on the Edgemont site. The Bell View Mustangs and the Edgemont Eagles became the Glacier Hills Yetis, and roughly 600 students now share a single modern campus.

For buyers, the practical takeaway is simple. Listings and older school maps may still reference Bell View or Edgemont. Those boundaries now point to Glacier Hills Elementary, so do not let an outdated school name send you looking in the wrong place.

How good is Glacier Hills Elementary?

Glacier Hills Elementary earns a 6 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, which sits around the middle for Utah public elementary schools. Because the school only opened in 2022, its testing history is short, and early state proficiency figures have run below the Utah average, in the range of the mid 30s percent in reading and high 30s percent in math. Treat those as an early snapshot rather than a settled track record.

Class sizes run about 19 students per teacher, and the building itself is one of the newest in the district, purpose built for around 800 students. It is one of roughly 30 elementary schools in the Canyons School District.

Where Glacier Hills Elementary feeds

Elementary schools matter for the early years, but families usually want to see the whole path. Under the current Canyons School District pattern, the progression runs:

• Elementary: Glacier Hills Elementary, grades K to 5
• Middle: Eastmont Middle School, grades 6 to 8
• High: Jordan High School, grades 9 to 12

Canyons District has studied moving a small pocket near Quarry Bend, north of 9000 South, toward Union Middle to keep those students together through high school, so a few addresses may differ. Nearby Sandy high schools include Alta High School and, to the north, Hillcrest High School in Midvale, though the core Glacier Hills pattern runs to Jordan.

Homes in the Glacier Hills Elementary boundary

The Glacier Hills Elementary boundary covers established Sandy neighborhoods around the old Edgemont and Bell View areas, near 1000 East and Galena Drive. This is settled east side Sandy, so the housing stock leans toward mature single-family homes on full lots rather than new construction, with mountain views close to the Wasatch foothills. As of July 2026, active listings in the area generally run:

• Entry level: smaller and older single-family homes and the occasional townhome
• Typical: three and four bedroom homes on established streets
• Upper end: larger or updated homes closer to the foothills

Prices in this part of Sandy move with the market, so treat any range as a snapshot and ask us for current numbers on the exact streets you are considering.

A local broker’s take

If schools are steering your Sandy search, Glacier Hills Elementary is worth a look for the building alone: a brand new campus dropped into a settled, tree lined neighborhood with easy canyon access. The trade off is that its test scores are still young, so I would weigh the fresh facility and the Eastmont to Jordan path against a longer track record if that matters to you. When you find a home you like, we will confirm its exact attendance area before you write an offer, since a boundary line, and a boundary study, can change which school a street feeds.
