Summary:
Providence, Utah, has three listed schools serving grades K–8: Spring Creek Middle School for grades 7–8, Providence School for grades K–6, and The Center for Creativity Innovation and Discovery, a K–8 school; together they enroll about 1,920 students, with the first two operated by Cache District.
Spring Creek Middle School is the strongest overall performer by statewide ranking, placing 15th among 217 Utah middle schools and earning five stars. Its mathematics and science results are particularly impressive: 7th-grade math proficiency was 69.9%, 8th-grade math was 63.4%, and 7th-grade science was 70.0%, all well above state averages. Providence School also ranks highly, placing 65th among 563 elementary schools and earning four stars. It is especially strong in science, including 81.4% proficiency in 6th grade, while its ELA results are generally solid. Mathematics is less consistent, especially in 4th and 6th grade, making it the clearest academic area to monitor.
The Center for Creativity Innovation and Discovery is smaller and reports the lowest student-teacher ratio, 15.8, but its latest available ranking was much lower—476th of 561 schools in 2023–2024. Its biggest challenges are chronic absenteeism, at 33.3%, and weaker upper-grade ELA and mathematics results, including less than 20% proficiency in 8th-grade math. By comparison, absenteeism was 22.5% at Spring Creek Middle School and 17.1% at Providence School. Overall, families will find the strongest academic records at the two Cache District schools, while The Center may warrant closer review of attendance, middle-school instruction, and current performance data.
