How good is Riverton Elementary?

Riverton Elementary earns a 6 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, which places it around average to above average among Utah public elementary schools. On recent state testing, roughly 56 percent of students scored proficient in reading and 51 percent in math, both above the statewide average for schools serving the same grades.

The school is also one of a small number of ALPS magnet elementaries in the Jordan School District, which draws accelerated learners from a wider area. It serves about 700 students, and as one of the older elementaries in town, it anchors a settled, central Riverton neighborhood.

Where Riverton Elementary feeds

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

• Elementary: Riverton Elementary, grades K to 6
• Middle: a Riverton middle school, most often South Hills or Oquirrh Hills, grades 7 to 9
• High: Riverton High School, grades 10 to 12

Because Riverton Elementary sits near the boundary between two middle schools, the assigned middle school can differ block to block, and the lines have shifted as newer schools opened. Confirm your exact boundary before you rely on a feeder. The Jordan School District boundary tool checks any specific address. You can also explore the wider market on our Riverton area page.

Homes in the Riverton Elementary boundary

The Riverton Elementary boundary sits in the older, central part of Riverton, so the housing stock skews toward established single-family homes, many on larger lots, along with some newer infill. This is the settled heart of the city rather than a new master-planned area, which appeals to buyers who want mature trees, bigger yards, and a short drive to Riverton’s older commercial core.

Because lot sizes and home ages vary widely here, prices range from block to block, and the mix of active listings shifts month to month. Rather than quote a range that goes stale quickly, we would rather pull a current, address-specific snapshot for you.
