Summary:
The Gateway Preparatory Academy area has one school, a K–8 elementary school in Enoch, Utah, serving about 732 students. It is also the only school in the Gateway Preparatory Academy district, so there are no nearby schools in this data set for direct school-to-school comparison. The school ranks near the middle statewide, at the 49th percentile, and improved from one star to two stars in the latest ranking.
The school’s strongest recent results are in English language arts and some science grades. Average ELA proficiency for grades 3–8 was about 46.8%, slightly above the Utah average of approximately 45.4%. Third- and fourth-grade ELA were notably stronger than the state, while fifth-grade science reached 59.3%, about 7 points above Utah. Sixth-grade science was also strong at 58.5%. Mathematics remains the main schoolwide challenge: proficiency was below the state average in every tested grade, although every grade improved from the prior year. The largest mathematics gaps were in fourth grade and sixth grade, where 41.3% and 26.8% of students were proficient, respectively.
Seventh grade deserves particular attention. Only 36.9% of students were proficient in ELA, and 29.8% were proficient in science—nearly 18 points below the state science average. Science improved substantially in most other grades, making the seventh-grade decline especially noticeable. Attendance may also affect learning: chronic absenteeism was 27.7%, higher than Utah’s 23.8% rate. The student-teacher ratio was 22.6 to 1, and 53.55% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, the school is making meaningful progress, especially in mathematics and its statewide ranking, but families should look closely at support for middle-grade students, sixth-grade math, seventh-grade academics, and attendance.
