Best Elementary Schools in Brigham City, UT

Summary:

The city of Brigham City, Utah is home to three elementary schools: Golden Spike Elementary, Lake View School, and Discovery School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade and are part of the Box Elder District.

Among the three schools, Discovery School stands out as the top performer. It ranked 317 out of 547 Utah elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, the highest ranking among the Brigham City schools. Discovery School also achieved the highest proficiency rates in RISE/Mathematics and RISE/Science across multiple grade levels, outperforming both the district and state averages. Additionally, it had the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 23.8%, matching the other two schools.

While Golden Spike Elementary is the largest school with 851 students, it maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 20.7. The school also performed better than the district and state averages in RISE/English Language Arts for 3rd and 5th grades. In contrast, Lake View School had the lowest statewide ranking, with a 1-star rating, and struggled with lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state in several subject areas and grade levels. The higher percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients at Lake View School may be contributing to its lower academic performance.
