Summary

Pahvant School is an elementary school in Richfield, Utah, serving 504 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Sevier District, which is ranked 45 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pahvant School is a standout performer, particularly in supporting its low-socioeconomic status (SES) students. The school consistently ranks among the top 7-13 elementary schools in Utah for its work with this population, earning a 5-star rating in this category. Additionally, Pahvant School's mathematics and English language arts (ELA) proficiency rates have consistently exceeded the Sevier District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. In 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 71%, compared to 60.7% for the Sevier District and 49.1% for the state.

However, Pahvant School faces some challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 25.2% in 2022-2023 to 40.4% in 2023-2024. Compared to nearby schools, such as Fillmore School, Pahvant School generally outperforms its local counterparts in mathematics and ELA, but Fillmore School has higher proficiency rates in several subject areas, suggesting that Pahvant School could learn from its practices. Additionally, Pahvant School's per-student spending of $7,719 in 2018-2019 is lower than the nearby Fillmore School ($11,184) and Ashman School ($8,307), which may contribute to the observed performance differences.
