How good is Ridgeline Elementary?

Ridgeline Elementary earns an 8 out of 10 GreatSchools rating and has held a 5 star SchoolDigger ranking among the top elementary schools in Utah for several years running. On recent state testing, roughly 67 percent of students scored proficient in math and 60 percent in reading, both above the statewide average for schools serving the same grades.

Where Ridgeline Elementary feeds

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

Lone Peak High is the Highland area high school in Utah County, and should not be confused with Salt Lake City’s Highland High School. Attendance lines have shifted as the area has grown, and Alpine School District is preparing to split, so confirm your exact boundary before you rely on a feeder. Utah County voters approved dividing Alpine District into three new districts, and Highland is slated to join the new Aspen Peaks School District beginning in the 2027 to 2028 school year. The Alpine School District boundary tool checks any specific address. You can also explore the wider market on our Highland area page.

Homes in the Ridgeline Elementary boundary

The Ridgeline Elementary boundary covers a newer part of Highland, so the housing stock skews toward more recent construction than the older core of the city. Expect single-family homes on comfortable lots, with mountain and valley views common on the higher ground the school is named for. As of July 2026, active listings in the area generally run:

  • Entry level: smaller single-family homes and the occasional townhome
  • Typical: newer single-family homes on standard Highland lots
  • Upper end: larger custom and view homes on the bench

Prices in Highland move over time and vary block to block, so treat any range as a snapshot and ask us for a current, address-specific look.

A local broker’s take

If schools are steering your Highland search, the Ridgeline Elementary boundary is one of the most requested in the city: strong scores, a long track record of top rankings, and a clean path into Mountain Ridge Junior High and Lone Peak High. It appeals most to buyers who want newer construction with views and easy access to the north end of Highland. When you find a home you like, we will confirm its exact attendance area before you write an offer, since a boundary line, and the coming district split, can change which schools an address is tied to.
