How good is Nibley Park School?
We try to give you the straight picture. Nibley Park earns a 4 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, and recent state testing showed roughly 30 percent of students proficient in math and 28 percent in reading, both below the statewide averages. Those numbers are worth weighing honestly if academics are your top priority.
On the other side of the ledger, Nibley Park keeps classes small, about 15 students per teacher, among the lightest in the district. Its K to 8 model is unusual here: students stay on one campus from kindergarten through eighth grade, which some families value for the continuity and the smaller, more personal setting through the middle-school years.
Where Nibley Park feeds
Because Nibley Park runs through eighth grade, there is no separate middle-school step. The path is simpler than most:
- Elementary and middle grades: Nibley Park School, one campus, grades K to 8
- High: Highland High School, grades 9 to 12
Assignments follow your home address, so confirm your exact boundary before you rely on a feeder. The Salt Lake City School District boundary tool checks any specific address. You can also explore the wider market on our Salt Lake City area page.

A local broker’s take
Nibley Park is a value play with a distinctive setup.

When you find a home you like, we will confirm its exact attendance area before you write an offer, and we are always happy to talk through how it stacks up against nearby boundaries.
