Union Middle School, Midvale

The short answer

Union Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6 to 8 in the Canyons School District. The rebuilt campus sits in Sandy, just south of the Midvale line, and its boundary reaches into the east side of Midvale, so it is one of the two middle schools that serve Midvale families. It currently carries a 3 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, which sits below the Utah average on test scores, though the published data shows very strong attendance and the school runs a Spanish dual language immersion program. From Union Middle, students continue to Hillcrest High School.

How good is Union Middle?

Union Middle earns a 3 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, which places it below the state average on recent test scores. GreatSchools does not publish a full proficiency breakdown on its public profile, so treat the single rating as a starting point rather than the whole story. Two things the published data does highlight are attendance, with roughly 99 percent of students present nearly every school day, and small class sizes relative to the state average.

The school serves about 910 students at a student to teacher ratio in the range of 24 to 1. Union also runs a Spanish dual language immersion program, which is a real draw for buyers who want their children to graduate bilingual and biliterate. Like the rest of the district’s schools, Union was rebuilt in recent years, so the building is newer than the rating alone might suggest. A tour and a conversation with the principal will tell you more than any score.

Where Union Middle fits

Union Middle sits in the middle of the school progression for east Midvale and northwest Sandy. Several Midvale elementary neighborhoods east of State Street route into the Union pipeline, since Union is a walking school and Midvale Middle is a busing school. From Union Middle, students continue on to Hillcrest High School for grades 9 to 12, the same high school that serves the Midvale attendance area.

Because Canyons District has redrawn lines as it rebuilt schools, treat any elementary or high school pairing as a starting point, not a guarantee.

Homes in the Union Middle boundary

The Union Middle boundary straddles the Midvale and Sandy line, covering east Midvale neighborhoods and the northwest corner of Sandy. That mix means a broad range of housing, from older single-family homes and townhomes on the Midvale side to a variety of established Sandy neighborhoods.

Because the boundary spans two cities and both older and newer pockets, prices vary widely 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.

A local broker’s take

Union Middle is the natural middle school for buyers looking at east Midvale and the northwest edge of Sandy, and its dual language immersion program is a genuine differentiator worth asking about. The GreatSchools rating is on the low side, so if test scores drive your decision, pull the most recent state data and tour the school first. What the rating misses is a rebuilt campus, small classes, strong attendance, and a short path to Hillcrest. When you find a home you like, we will confirm its exact middle and high school boundaries before you write an offer, since a single street here can separate Union from Midvale Middle.
