Schools in Beaver, UT

Beaver, Utah, is served by two public schools in Beaver District: Belknap School for kindergarten through grade 6 and Beaver High for grades 7–12. Together, they enroll 893 students, with enrollment split almost evenly between the elementary and secondary schools, and both schools rank around the middle-to-upper-middle range statewide.

Belknap School serves 451 students and stands out for English language arts and science. It exceeded state averages in every reported ELA grade, and its science results were especially strong in grade 4, where 71% of students were proficient. The school also made a major ranking recovery, rising from the 37th to the 59th percentile in one year. Mathematics is less consistent: grades 3 and 4 were above state averages, but grade 6 proficiency was only 18.5%. Parents should also note the school’s 29% chronic absenteeism rate, considerably higher than both the district and state rates.

Beaver High serves 442 students and has strong student-engagement and completion outcomes. Its 93.1% graduation rate, 6.9% dropout rate, and 5.9% chronic absenteeism rate are better than statewide comparisons. Science and ELA are relative strengths, including 63.8% proficiency in grade 10 ELA, while mathematics is the main academic concern across grades 7–10. Both schools improved substantially in their latest rankings, but families comparing them will see different priorities: attendance and grade 6 math are the main concerns at Belknap School, while math achievement remains the clearest improvement area at Beaver High.
