Summary:
Goshen, Utah, has one listed public school: Goshen School, an elementary school serving Pre-K through sixth grade. The school has 327 students and is part of Nebo District. Since it is the only school in the city, there are no local school-to-school comparisons; the most useful context comes from comparing its results with district and Utah averages.
Goshen School shows mixed academic results. Mathematics is its strongest subject overall, although 2025–2026 proficiency averaged about 38%, compared with 52% in the district and 49% statewide. Third-grade math was a relative bright spot, with 50% of students proficient, nearly matching Utah’s 50.1%. Fifth-grade math was the biggest concern at 20.4%, well below both the district and state at about 45%. English language arts was consistently weak across grades 3–5, averaging about 29% proficient versus roughly 46% in the district and statewide. Science averaged about 35%, also below district and state results.
There are some encouraging signs: math improved from the prior year, especially in fourth and fifth grades, and fifth-grade science rose substantially. However, performance remains uneven, and the school’s 2025–2026 ranking was at the 23rd percentile statewide, while Nebo District ranked at the 47th percentile. Chronic absenteeism was 26%, slightly better than the district’s 26.6% but higher than Utah’s 23.8%, making attendance an important issue for families to monitor. The school reports a 25:1 student-teacher ratio, and 40.37% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. Parents may wish to focus especially on reading support, fifth-grade mathematics, consistent attendance, and whether recent academic improvements continue.
