About us
The Salt Lake City School District serves the children and community of Utah’s capitol city. The boundaries for the district are contiguous with the boundaries of Salt Lake City. Inside the district you will find a great amount of diversity. Some areas of the city feature multi-million dollar homes, while in other areas, over 90% of the children and families live in poverty. The district serves approximately 24,000 students, and over 80 languages are spoken in the halls of Salt Lake City schools. Our Schools There are 36 schools in the district: 27 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, 3 high schools and one alternative high school. In May 1999, voters in Salt Lake City overwhelmingly approved issuing $136 million in bonds to help pay for the renovation or reconstruction of elementary and middle schools. The 10-year construction program is building schools that are safer, brighter, and can be used as community centers after school hours. You can find more information on the school construction page. Our Students Students in the Salt Lake City School District hail from around the world. Ethnic minorities make up 53% of our students, and the district serves a significant refugee population from Eastern European or African countries. Approximately 60% of our students come from low-income families, and just over 33% of them are learning English as a second language. We celebrate this diversity and believe it adds value as students learn first hand about other cultures.
