Elementary Schools in Wasatch District

The Wasatch District in Utah is home to 6 high-performing elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools consistently rank among the top in the state, with several standouts that demonstrate exceptional academic achievement.

Old Mill School and Midway School are the district's top performers, earning 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and ranking in the top 15 and 20 elementary schools in Utah, respectively. Both schools boast impressive test scores, with over 80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, well above the district and state averages. In contrast, Wasatch Learning Academy, a public virtual school, faces unique challenges and has a lower statewide ranking compared to the other district schools.

The schools in the Wasatch District serve student populations with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the wide range in free and reduced lunch rates, from 14.01% at Old Mill School to 49.33% at Heber Valley School. This diversity suggests the district may need to consider targeted strategies to support students from lower-income families. Additionally, the significant differences in test scores between the highest-performing and lower-performing schools may indicate equity concerns that the district should investigate further.
