Where South Hills Middle fits
South Hills Middle sits in the middle of the school progression for students on the west side of Riverton and the edge of Herriman. From South Hills Middle, much of the boundary continues on to Mountain Ridge High School in Herriman, while part of it routes to Riverton High School.

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 South Hills Middle boundary
