Summary:
Washington, Utah, has nine schools serving approximately 5,747 students from prekindergarten through 12th grade. The schools include six elementary schools, one intermediate school, and two high schools, with most affiliated with Washington District. Overall performance varies considerably: some schools rank among Utah’s strongest, while others face substantial challenges involving test scores and attendance. Families should consider both academic results and school-specific factors such as grade configuration, enrollment, absenteeism, and available student-support resources.
Crimson Cliffs High is the leading high school in the group, ranking seventh among Utah high schools and reporting a 97.7% graduation rate, a 1.3% dropout rate, and only 5.9% chronic absenteeism. Washington Fields Intermediate is similarly impressive, ranking fourth among middle schools and posting especially strong science results, including 84.4% proficiency in sixth grade. Among elementary schools, Horizon School has the highest current ranking, while Riverside School combines strong achievement with the lowest elementary chronic-absenteeism rate, at 14.9%. Majestic Fields School also stands out for mathematics, including 75.4% proficiency in fourth grade.
Attendance is a key concern at several schools. Coral Canyon School and Washington School have lower rankings, below-state achievement in reported subjects, and chronic absenteeism of 36.2% and 28.2%, respectively. Mountain View Montessori reports 50.9% chronic absenteeism, while St. George Academy reports 68.8%, along with a 12.5% dropout rate. Their test results often appear as ranges or bounds, so exact comparisons should be made cautiously. Overall, Riverside and Majestic Fields show encouraging progress, while attendance and academic support deserve particular attention at the lower-performing schools.
