Original Research by School Decision on Eastlake School
Eastlake School serves kindergarten through sixth grade in South Jordan, a rapidly growing suburban city southwest of Salt Lake City. The school sits within the Daybreak master-planned community, a large-scale development that has reshaped the western half of South Jordan with residential neighborhoods, trails, parks, and a new mixed-use downtown anchored by the Salt Lake Bees ballpark. South Jordan has been among the fastest-growing cities in Utah, and the Daybreak area continues to add homes and commercial space. The school is part of Jordan School District, which has seen steady enrollment growth across its communities and has responded with new construction and boundary adjustments.
Eastlake is a large elementary school for its grade band, serving kindergarten through sixth grade. The student body is predominantly white, with a Hispanic population as the next largest group, and smaller shares of students who are Asian, Black, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and multiracial. A modest share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is a lower rate than many schools in the area. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the source material.
On state assessments, Eastlake’s students perform well above the midpoint among schools in Salt Lake County. The school’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades places it in the top quartile relative to other districts in the county. In science, a strong majority of students met or exceeded the state’s proficiency standard. In math, a majority of students also reached that bar. In English language arts, a majority of students were proficient as well, though the rate was slightly lower than in math and science. These results come from Utah’s RISE assessments, which are given to students in grades three through six. The school does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to report.
The school’s academic performance is a clear strength. Eastlake’s overall proficiency index places it in the top quarter of schools relative to other districts in Salt Lake County. For a family looking at elementary options in the southern part of the Salt Lake Valley, this is a school where a strong majority of students are meeting state learning standards across subjects.
The community context matters here. South Jordan’s rapid growth, driven by the Daybreak development, means the school serves a population that is largely new to the area. Housing values in the zip code are above the national median, and rents are also elevated, reflecting the desirability of the master-planned community and its amenities. The school’s location within Daybreak means many families live within walking or biking distance of the campus, though the broader city is car-dependent. The area’s growth has also meant ongoing school construction and boundary adjustments within Jordan District, which families moving into the area should be aware of when choosing a home.
Eastlake does not offer high school programs, so there is no data on Advanced Placement, career and technical education, or dual-credit offerings. The school’s focus is on elementary instruction, and the available evidence points to a school where students are performing well on state assessments relative to peers across the county. For a family looking at the Daybreak area or southern South Jordan, Eastlake represents a strong academic option at the elementary level within a fast-growing suburban community.
