South Hills Middle School serves students of varied economic, social, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Located in the rapidly growing city of Riverton, the school's spacious building and well groomed campus are assets to the community. South Hills Middle School is a traditional story design featuring self-contained classrooms, shop and home economics areas, choral and band rooms, media center, auditorium, gymnasium, and office suite. The commodious building dates from 1998 and offers many amenities not included in Jordan District's older middle schools.

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.
