Despite being part of a relatively well-performing district, Red Mountain School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in RISE Mathematics, RISE English Language Arts, and RISE Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade RISE Mathematics proficiency rate was 33.8%, compared to the district's 49.8% and the state's 48.6%. Additionally, Red Mountain School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.2% to 26.8% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state's average.
When comparing Red Mountain School to nearby schools in the Washington District, such as Heritage School, Diamond Valley School, and Santa Clara School, it becomes evident that Red Mountain is underperforming, with significantly lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and lower statewide rankings. Despite the school's higher spending per student compared to the state average, its academic performance is still lagging behind, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and student support, may be contributing to the school's underperformance.
