Best Public Schools in Ivins, UT

Ivins, Utah, has two listed schools serving grades PK–9: Vista School, an alternative K–9 school with 1,114 students, and Red Mountain School, an elementary school serving PK–5 with 447 students. There are no separately listed traditional middle or high schools in the supplied data. The schools serve different grade ranges and have different programs, so their results are useful for comparison but are not perfectly alike.

Vista School has the stronger academic profile. In 2025–26, its average proficiency was about 56% in English language arts, 50% in mathematics, and 64% in science across tested grades. Science was a particular strength, with 70.1% proficiency in eighth grade. Vista also improved substantially in most mathematics grades compared with the previous year. Its main concerns are sixth grade, where performance was below the state in English, mathematics, and science, and chronic absenteeism, which was 24.6%, slightly above Utah’s 23.8%. Its ninth-grade results remained above state averages despite declining from the prior year.

Red Mountain School has a lower student-teacher ratio—17.7 to 1 compared with Vista’s 21 to 1—and chronic absenteeism below the state average, at 21.3%. Its statewide ranking improved from the 18th percentile in 2024–25 to the 31st percentile in 2025–26. However, academic proficiency was lower in most tested subjects, and fifth grade is the clearest priority: proficiency was 28.4% in English, 27.3% in mathematics, and 32.9% in science. Fourth grade showed encouraging improvement, especially in mathematics and science. The schools are associated with the Vista School and Washington District, respectively.
