Best Public Schools in Tremonton, UT

Tremonton, Utah, has three listed public schools serving grades K–7 and 2,109 students: North Park School and Mckinley School serve kindergarten through fifth grade, while Harris Intermediate serves sixth and seventh grade. The list does not include a Tremonton high school or alternative school. All three schools are part of the Box Elder District, which ranks in the middle-to-lower portion of Utah districts.

For parents comparing the elementary schools, Mckinley currently has the stronger overall academic profile. In 2025–2026, its average proficiency was about 49%, compared with about 46% at North Park, and it performed especially well in mathematics, averaging about 52% across grades 3–5. Mckinley also improved substantially from the prior year, with large gains in mathematics and science and a ranking increase to about the 51st statewide percentile. North Park has several strong individual results, particularly fourth-grade science, where 58.3% of students were proficient—the highest single elementary score reported. However, North Park’s results are less consistent, with especially weak fifth-grade mathematics performance. Both schools’ English language arts averages were below district and state averages, making literacy an important area for families to monitor.

Attendance is the clearest concern across the elementary schools. Chronic absenteeism was 40.5% at North Park and 52.2% at Mckinley, compared with 23.4% at Harris and 32.0% districtwide. Mckinley therefore combines the strongest recent academic improvement with the area’s most serious attendance challenge. Harris has older academic ranking information, but its attendance rate is closest to the Utah average and it serves the largest enrollment, 862 students. Student-teacher ratios are fairly similar, ranging from 20.9 at North Park to 23.5 at Harris. Overall, families may want to weigh Mckinley’s academic momentum, North Park’s notable fourth-grade strengths, and the attendance records at both elementary schools when considering options in Tremonton.
