Oakwood Elementary School, Holladay

The short answer

Oakwood Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades K to 6 in the Granite School District, in Holladay, Utah. It is one of the district’s oldest campuses, with roots dating back to the 1890s. Its GreatSchools rating runs on the lower side, while Niche grades it an A minus and third-party sources report solid proficiency figures, so it is worth a visit rather than a snap judgment on one score. Under the current pattern, Oakwood students move on to a Granite junior high such as Olympus, then Olympus High School.

How good is Oakwood Elementary?

Oakwood’s GreatSchools rating has run on the lower side, roughly 2 to 5 out of 10 depending on the year, a figure that leans on the GreatSchools formula and can read below a family’s day to day experience. Other measures paint a warmer picture: Niche grades the school an A minus, and third-party sources report roughly 62 percent of students proficient in math and 63 percent in reading. The campus serves about 580 students at a student to teacher ratio near 29 to 1, on the larger side for the district.

As with any single score, treat these as a starting point. A tour and a conversation with the front office tell you more about fit than a rating does.

Where Oakwood Elementary feeds

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

• Elementary: Oakwood Elementary, grades K to 6
• Junior high: a Granite junior high such as Olympus Junior High, roughly grades 7 to 9
• High: Olympus High School, through grade 12

Some Holladay and Millcreek addresses route toward Skyline High School instead, and the lines have shifted as enrollment has changed. Confirm your exact boundary before you rely on a feeder.

A note on the closure study

Oakwood appeared on a list of east-side elementaries the Granite School District studied for possible closure as enrollment declined across the area. In early 2026, the district paused those closure decisions, and the school remains open. If a school’s long-term status matters to your purchase, confirm the latest with the district before you write an offer, and we are glad to help you track it.
