Original Research by School Decision on Oak Hollow School
Oak Hollow School is an elementary school serving kindergarten through fifth grade in Draper, part of the Canyons District. It is a traditional public school, not a charter or magnet, and sits within the Salt Lake County portion of Draper. The school serves a mid-sized elementary enrollment, with each grade generally well-populated from kindergarten upward. A very small share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a community with high economic resources. The student population is predominantly white, with a modest Hispanic presence and small numbers of Asian, multiracial, and other groups. Data on the share of students with disabilities or English learner status was not reported in the available records; a parent may want to ask the school directly about special education and language support programs.
Academically, Oak Hollow performs at a strong level. On Utah’s RISE assessments, proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science all land well above most peers. Taken together, the school’s overall proficiency across tested subjects places it in the top quarter among all districts in Salt Lake County. That is a clear and consistent strength. Because the school serves only elementary grades, there are no high school outcomes such as graduation rates or college readiness metrics to report. No chronic absenteeism data were available in this profile.
The school grounds and facilities are part of a district that recently secured a major bond for rebuilding and renovating schools. Voters in the Canyons District approved the bond, which the district structured to replace expiring debt so that the property tax rate would not increase. The bond funds are meant to address aging buildings, safety upgrades, and infrastructure across multiple schools. That investment may affect the physical condition of Oak Hollow’s campus in the coming years.
Draper, the city where Oak Hollow sits, is a fast-growing suburb located a moderate drive south of Salt Lake City. It transformed from a small farming community into a substantial city over the past few decades, driven by suburban expansion and a significant tech and corporate employer base including major headquarters and regional offices. The population is young, and median household income is well above national levels, with a low poverty rate. The housing market in Draper’s zip code is expensive relative to state and national benchmarks, and home values have risen modestly recently. Rents are also high, though they have shown little year-over-year change. The city is primarily car-oriented, with most commercial destinations a short drive away, though it also has light rail stations and a commuter rail stop. A historic core with a park and theatre provides some walkability, and the city emphasizes its trail system and mountain access. The old Utah State Prison site near Point of the Mountain, which was relocated in 2022, represents a large redevelopment opportunity that could shape Draper’s future growth and feel.
For a family considering Oak Hollow, the picture is of a high-performing elementary in an affluent, growing suburb with a strong tax base and recent district investment in facilities. The student body is not economically diverse but is somewhat ethnically diverse. The housing market is expensive, so a family would need to factor in that cost. The broader Draper environment offers tech-sector employment, good transit options for the region, and outdoor recreation nearby, but everyday errands require a car. This school fits a family that values strong academic results in early grades, wants a well-resourced district, and is comfortable with the suburban, car-dependent, and relatively costly housing context.
