Jordan Hills Elementary serves the community located between the new Bingham Highway (approximately 8000 South) and 9000 South. Jordan Hills neighborhoods are comprised of established subdivisions, with currently no new growth. Our school population is best described as being stabilized, but slightly decreasing as children grow older and move on to secondary schools. Families in the area are very supportive and involved in our community of learners.

The goal at Jordan Hills Elementary is to help students become useful, contributing members of society by teaching academics and responsible citizenship. Students at Jordan Hills are the main focus of the staff who work together to provide a warm learning climate where students excel in a fun and safe environment.

• Jordan Hills Elementary serves approximately 975 students on a year-round schedule. Students are divided into four attendance tracks. Typically, each track is in school for 45 days followed by 15 days of vacation. The school takes a common vacation in July.
• The school day begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:25 p.m., except on Fridays when school is dismissed at 1:25 p.m. to allow teachers time for planning and making track changes.
• The teacher/pupil ratio is 1 to 22 in kindergarten and first grade, 1 to 23 in second grade, 1 to 23 in third grade, and 1 to 26 in grades four, five and six. The actual class sizes vary.
• The curriculum follows state and District guidelines and provides students with a solid foundation of basic skills as well as many opportunities for enrichment experiences. A team of highly trained professionals with diverse talents and interests provides a broad range of learning experiences for gifted education and interactive learning.
• Teachers are formally evaluated on a regular basis. Improvement in teaching skills, student achievement and self-concept development are emphasized.
• Technology training is part of the school curriculum. Our computer lab is available where all students in grades K through six learn keyboarding skills, word processing programs and work with software in language arts and math during weekly computer classes. The school system is networked to provide school-wide computer experiences, including the Internet.

Criterion Referenced Tests (CRT)
The Core Criterion Referenced Tests (CRTs) are administered at the end of each school year to help assess how well students have mastered the standards and objectives set forth in the State of Utah Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science core curricula.   Student achievement is reported as the percent of students reaching “proficient” by earning a Level 3 or Level 4 performance on the Core CRT.

IOWA Tests
The IOWA Test of Basic Skills provides a comparison of achievement to students across the United States in reading, language arts, math, science and social studies.  The IOWA test is given each fall to students in grades 3, 5, and 8.  The Jordan School District School also administers the IOWA to students in grade 6.  Results are reported as the average percentile rank.  The national average is the 50th percentile in each area.
