Promontory School of Expeditionary Learning

The Promontory School of Expeditionary Learning is the only school listed in this Perry, Utah, area, serving about 443 students in grades K–8. Although classified as an elementary school, it includes middle-school grades through eighth grade. The school is part of the Promontory School of Expeditionary Learning district, so there are no other schools in the provided data for a direct comparison.

Parents should know that the school’s recent academic results are below Utah averages in nearly every exact grade-level comparison. Mathematics is the clearest area of concern, averaging about 25% proficient across grades 3–7, with the lowest result being 15.9% in sixth grade. English language arts averaged about 30%, while science was stronger at approximately 41%. Sixth-grade science was the school’s best exact result at 47.8%, and science improved notably in fifth and sixth grades compared with the prior year. Seventh grade was generally the strongest grade in English language arts and mathematics, suggesting that performance improves for some students in the upper grades. Eighth-grade results are reported as ranges rather than exact percentages, so those scores should be interpreted cautiously.

Attendance is a major concern: 57.4% of students were identified as chronically absent in 2024–25, compared with 23.8% statewide. This substantial difference means families may want to ask how the school tracks absences, supports regular attendance, and provides help when students miss instruction. The school has a reported student-teacher ratio of 17.4 to 1 and a free/reduced-price lunch rate of 41.53%. Its ranking remained in the lower portion of Utah schools over the past three years, with a one-star rating and a 16th-percentile placement in the latest year. The most important improvement priorities appear to be attendance, foundational mathematics, and early-grade literacy, while recent science gains may offer a useful model for strengthening other subjects.
