Summary:
Box Elder District’s 13 elementary schools serve students from prekindergarten through sixth grade across a largely rural area, with enrollment ranging from 8 students at Grouse Creek Elementary to 924 at Golden Spike Elementary. Together, the schools enroll 5,717 students, although their sizes and available academic data differ considerably. The district ranks 50th of 92 Utah districts, placing it around the 46th percentile.
Garland School is the strongest overall performer, ranking in the 81st state percentile with a four-star rating and an average proficiency of about 61.5% across its reported subjects and grades. Its 2.3% chronic absenteeism rate is also the lowest reported. Three Mile Creek School follows with about 53.7% average proficiency and especially strong science results, while Golden Spike Elementary made a notable recent recovery and now averages about 51.7%. Mckinley School also improved substantially, particularly in mathematics and science, though its 52.2% chronic absenteeism rate is the highest reported. Fielding School stands out for mathematics, with all three current math results above district comparisons.
Across schools with complete current results, science is the strongest subject at about 53.9% proficiency, followed by mathematics at 49.5% and English language arts at 46.2%. Grade 5 mathematics is a recurring weakness, while grade 3 ELA varies widely between schools. Lake View School has the lowest current average, about 39.7%, and also reports high absenteeism at 48.2%; North Park School also faces attendance concerns. Results are unavailable or not directly comparable for Willard School, Snowville School, Park Valley Elementary, and Grouse Creek Elementary, so their missing scores should not be interpreted as poor performance. Overall, the most important district priorities are improving attendance and strengthening grade 5 mathematics.
