Summary:
Mona, Utah, has one public school serving the city: Mona School, an elementary school for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. The school enrolls about 280 students, so families in the area generally have one local public elementary option rather than several schools to compare. It is part of Juab District, which ranked 38th out of 92 Utah districts.
Academically, Mona School is a strong performer. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were higher than both district and statewide results in every reported subject and grade. Science was the strongest area, averaging about 72% proficient, followed by mathematics at about 69% and English Language Arts at about 63%. The standout result was fourth-grade science, with 78.2% of students proficient. Third-grade mathematics was also especially strong at 76.1%. Fifth-grade ELA was the lowest reported result at 55.0%, although it still exceeded both district and state rates. The school ranked in the 90th percentile statewide and received five stars, showing that it performs better than most Utah schools.
Families should also be aware of a significant attendance concern. Chronic absenteeism at Mona School was 23.9% in 2024–25, nearly the same as Utah’s rate but well above the Juab District rate of 14.5%. Fifth-grade mathematics also declined by 8.4 percentage points from the prior year, though performance remained strong overall. With a student-teacher ratio of 19.9 to 1 and about one-quarter of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school combines solid academic outcomes with an important need to improve attendance and monitor grade-level trends.
