Oakdale Elementary School, Cottonwood Heights

The short answer

Oakdale Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades K to 5 in the Canyons School District, on the bench where Cottonwood Heights meets north Sandy. It carries an 8 out of 10 GreatSchools rating and tests above the Utah average. Its feeder path is split: much of the boundary has fed the Butler Middle and Brighton High track, while some addresses route to Union Middle and Hillcrest High. Because Oakdale was part of the Canyons 2025 boundary study, confirm any specific address before you rely on a feeder.

How good is Oakdale Elementary?

Oakdale Elementary earns an 8 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, which places it above average among Utah public elementary schools. On recent state testing, roughly 67 percent of students scored proficient in reading and 62 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 Canyons District elementaries.

The school serves about 416 students across grades K to 5 and has drawn repeated recognition among the higher-performing elementaries in the district.

Where Oakdale feeds

Elementary schools matter for the early years, but families usually want to see the whole path. Oakdale is one of the trickier boundaries in the area because its feeder path is split and was part of the Canyons 2025 boundary study. In broad terms:

• Elementary: Oakdale Elementary, grades K to 5
• Middle: Butler Middle School for much of the boundary, with some addresses routing to Union Middle, and Albion Middle proposed for part of it, grades 6 to 8
• High: Brighton High School on the Butler and Albion track, or Hillcrest High on the Union track, grades 9 to 12

Because this boundary genuinely splits, do not rely on a single feeder here. The Canyons School District school locator checks the assigned schools for any specific address, and the 2025 boundary study outlines proposed changes.

Homes in the Oakdale Elementary boundary

The Oakdale boundary covers established single-family neighborhoods on the bench where Cottonwood Heights meets north Sandy, many on generous lots with mature trees and mountain views. Prices in this stretch generally run above the Salt Lake County median.

Because the boundary spans a settled but varied set of streets, and because the feeder path can change which middle and high school comes next, we would rather pull a current, address-specific snapshot than quote a range that goes stale quickly.

A local broker’s take

Oakdale is a strong, well-liked elementary on a desirable bench, but it is exactly the kind of boundary where you want a local broker checking the fine print. The split feeder path means two homes a few blocks apart can lead to different middle and high schools, and the 2025 boundary study proposed further changes. When you find a home you like, we will confirm its exact elementary, middle, and high school assignments before you write an offer.
