How good is Wasatch Elementary?
Wasatch Elementary earns a 6 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, a number that undersells its test results. On recent state testing, roughly 76 percent of students scored proficient in reading and 61 percent in math, both well above the statewide averages, and its reading scores land in the top 10 percent of Utah schools. GreatSchools blends test scores with growth and equity measures, so it is worth looking past the single number here.
Class sizes run about 20 students per teacher. The campus sits on R Street in the middle of the Avenues, one of the most walkable school settings in the city.
