How good is Southland Elementary?
Southland Elementary earns a 6 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, in the average to above-average range for Utah public elementary schools. On recent state testing, roughly 57 percent of students scored proficient in math and 49 percent in reading, with the math result standing out above the statewide average for schools serving the same grades.
Class sizes run about 19 students per teacher, a little lighter than many fast-growing west-side schools. It serves about 724 students and sits in central Riverton, a short distance from Oquirrh Hills Middle.
Where Southland 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: Southland Elementary, grades K to 6
- Middle: Oquirrh Hills Middle School, grades 7 to 9
- High: Riverton High School, grades 10 to 12
Because Jordan District has opened new schools and redrawn lines over the years, treat any middle or high school pairing as a starting point, not a guarantee. 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 Southland Elementary boundary
The Southland Elementary boundary sits in central Riverton, so the housing stock is mostly single-family homes on a mix of lot sizes, with some newer infill. This is a settled part of the city rather than a brand-new development.
Because home ages and lot sizes vary 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.
