Herriman Schools: A Complete Guide to Every School Serving the City

Herriman is served by Jordan School District, the same district covering South Jordan, West Jordan, Riverton, Bluffdale, and Copperton. Two public high schools serve the city: Herriman High, at 11917 S Mustang Trail Way (6000 West), opened in 2010 and is home to the Mustangs. Mountain Ridge High, at 14100 S Sentinel Ridge Boulevard, opened in 2019 as an $82 million campus and is home to the Sentinels - one of the newest high schools in the state.

 

Because Herriman has grown so quickly, the district has redrawn elementary and middle school boundaries more than once in the last decade, and a new subdivision built two years ago might not feed into the school its original marketing promised. If a specific school matters to your decision, it is always worth verifying the current boundary for an exact address before you write an offer, rather than assuming based on a neighborhood's name or a builder's brochure.

Charter and Private Schools in Herriman

Charters are tuition-free public schools with no attendance boundaries. Any Utah student may apply, and when applications exceed seats the school holds a lottery. Application windows generally open in winter for the following fall.

All are within a 15-to-20 minute drive of most Herriman addresses.

Parent FAQ: Boundaries, Open Enrollment and Home Values

HOW DO SCHOOL BOUNDARIES WORK HERE?

Jordan School District draws an attendance area around each school, and your address places you in exactly one elementary, one middle and one high school boundary. Boundaries follow the district's maps, not ZIP codes or subdivision names, so two homes on the same street can occasionally sit in different areas. The Board of Education votes on changes as neighborhoods fill in, most recently in November 2025.

 

HOW DO I CHECK WHICH SCHOOLS AN ADDRESS FEEDS?

Use the district's official address lookup at planning.jordandistrict.org/boundaries. Type in the street address and it returns the assigned elementary, middle and high school. This is the only definitive answer; listing and school-rating sites are frequently out of date. If you are buying a home for a specific school, verify the address before you write the offer, and ask me to verify it with you.

 

CAN MY CHILD ATTEND A SCHOOL OUTSIDE OUR BOUNDARY?

Often, yes. Utah law lets families apply to any public school in any district, space permitting. Jordan District calls this school choice and runs it in phases: early enrollment opens November 15 for the following year and runs through December 31 with priority categories and a lottery, continues January 1 through the first Friday in February on a first-come basis, then moves to late enrollment decided by staffing ratios. Apply at planning.jordandistrict.org/enrollment/schoolchoice. Two notes: popular schools fill in the November window, and open enrollment does not include busing.

 

HOW DOES SCHOOL CHOICE AFFECT HOME VALUES IN HERRIMAN?

Boundaries still move money here, but less bluntly than in cities with a wider spread between schools.

Because the whole city sits in one district with only two high school feeds, there is no dramatic district-line premium. The meaningful line is Herriman High versus Mountain Ridge High, and it matters most to families set on a specific program, team or peer group.

Homes near a boundary edge are the ones to watch. In November 2025 the district moved the Midas Creek area, along the Riverton line, from Herriman and Mountain Ridge High to Riverton High. A boundary review like that can change which high school a home feeds. That is a real risk for a buyer who paid for one, and a real question a listing agent should be ready to answer.

Charters like Providence Hall and Salt Lake Academy cut both ways. They give families a route that does not require buying into a boundary, but charter seats are a lottery rather than a guarantee, so most buyers still treat the boundary school as their floor.

If you are weighing two homes in different boundaries, the resale difference is usually smaller than buyers expect and the daily-life difference is usually larger. Send me the addresses and I will verify each boundary assignment and pull comparable sales on both sides of the line.
