Summary

LaVerkin School is an elementary school in La Verkin, Utah, serving 374 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Washington District, which is ranked 37 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While LaVerkin School has some areas of concern, it is important to consider the full context. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.2% to 28.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average and surrounding schools in the district. Additionally, its test scores in RISE/Mathematics, RISE/Science, and RISE/English Language Arts are consistently lower than the Washington District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 29.2% of 3rd graders at LaVerkin School were proficient or better in RISE/Mathematics, compared to 49.8% in the district and 48.6% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.12% to 55.08%, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Majestic Fields School (12.62%) and Horizon School (25.56%).

When comparing LaVerkin School to its nearby counterparts in the Washington District, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming. For instance, Horizon School consistently outperforms LaVerkin School on test scores and has a higher statewide ranking. The high chronic absenteeism rates and low test scores at LaVerkin School suggest that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address these issues, such as increased family engagement, academic support programs, and professional development for teachers.
