Summary:
The Franklin Discovery Academy area has one elementary school: Franklin Discovery Academy, located in Vineyard, Utah, at 320 E. Gammon Road. The school serves students from kindergarten through seventh grade and enrolls about 710 students, making it a larger school with both elementary and middle-grade students. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 19.9 to 1, and chronic absenteeism was just 5.3%, substantially below Utah’s 23.8% rate. The school is also listed as its own Franklin Discovery Academy district in the supplied data.
Academic performance is mixed and varies considerably by grade. Fourth grade is the clearest strength: 48.2% of students were proficient in English language arts and 53.5% in science, both slightly above Utah averages. Fourth-grade math was the school’s strongest exact math result at 30.3%, although it remained below the state’s 50.4%. Mathematics is the most significant overall challenge, with proficiency rates of 23.4% in third grade, 30.3% in fourth grade, and only 13.0% in fifth grade, compared with state rates near 45% to 50%. Fifth grade also showed weak results across English language arts and science, suggesting that this grade deserves particular attention.
The school’s recent direction is encouraging but remains below the statewide midpoint. Its ranking improved from 508th of 547 Utah schools in 2024–2025 to 443rd of 563 in 2025–2026, while its percentile rose from the 7th to the 21st and its rating increased from zero stars to one. Fourth-grade math and science also improved substantially from the prior year, though fifth-grade results declined. Results for sixth and seventh grades are reported as ranges or limits, so exact comparisons are not possible. For parents, the most important considerations are the school’s notably strong attendance, its broad kindergarten-to-seventh-grade structure, promising fourth-grade outcomes, and the need for continued academic support—especially in math and fifth grade.
