Jordan District

Jordan District is a suburban school district in Salt Lake County, Utah, serving 59,421 students across 70 schools with 2,658 teachers. The district represents one of Utah's larger suburban systems.

Academic performance shows mixed results relative to state benchmarks. Math proficiency at 41.7% exceeds the state average of 38.4%, while reading proficiency at 44.3% slightly trails the state average of 42.8%. The graduation rate of 91.8% notably surpasses the state average of 87.7%, indicating relatively strong completion outcomes. However, chronic absenteeism at 21.9% presents a considerable challenge, affecting approximately one in five students.

The district serves a student population that is 68.1% White, 21.5% Hispanic, 1.2% Black, and 1.8% Asian. Economically disadvantaged students comprise 17.6% of enrollment, suggesting relatively lower concentrations of poverty compared to some districts statewide.

Per-pupil spending of $5,563 falls slightly below the state average of $5,680, indicating the district operates with modest resource constraints. Despite this spending differential, the district maintains academic outcomes at or above state levels in several key areas. The relatively high graduation rate combined with above-average math proficiency suggests reasonable educational outcomes, though chronic absenteeism warrants attention as it may impact both current achievement and long-term student outcomes.
