How good is Lincoln Elementary?

Lincoln earns a 4 out of 10 GreatSchools rating. Recent state testing is mixed and generally trails the Utah average, which is common for a Title I school serving a community with significant economic need. The number that stands out most, though, is not on the report card: Lincoln students come from families speaking more than 24 home languages, making it one of the most culturally rich classrooms in the valley.

The school pairs it with a gifted and talented program, one-to-one Chromebook access in every K through 5 classroom, and a student to teacher ratio of about 22 to 1. If academics are steering your decision, tour in person, meet the teachers, and ask about the reading supports and enrichment that fit your child.

Where Lincoln feeds

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

• Elementary: Lincoln, grades K to 5
• Junior high: Granite Park Junior High, grades 6 to 8
• High: Cottonwood High School

Homes in the Lincoln boundary

The Lincoln boundary runs roughly from Seventh East to State Street between about 3300 South and 3900 South, one of the more attainable parts of the Salt Lake Valley. Expect a mix of older single-family homes, brick bungalows, townhomes, and condos, with newer infill scattered through the area. That range often means there is something for first-time buyers as well as move-up buyers who want to stay close to downtown Salt Lake City.

Because the area spans older and newer housing and the mix of active listings shifts month to month, we would rather pull a current, address-specific snapshot for you than quote a range that goes stale quickly.

A local broker’s take

If schools are steering your South Salt Lake search, Lincoln rewards a closer look than its rating alone suggests. It is a school with unusually broad language support, with a gifted program and modern classroom technology, in an area where buyers can still find real value close to downtown. 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.

Enrolling and location
