ABOUT HERRIMAN ELEMENTARY

Herriman Elementary is located in the southwest corner of the District's boundaries in the rapidly growing city of Herriman.

The mission of Herriman is to create a safe, positive environment to educate students academically, socially, and physically, enabling students to become life-long learners and responsible and productive citizens. A strategic plan for the school was completed in December, 2000. Our school theme is Soaring to Achieve New Heights.

Student Achievement

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.
