Summary:
Franklin Discovery Academy is the only school in this area’s data set, serving about 710 students in kindergarten through seventh grade in Vineyard, Utah. It is classified as an elementary school and is operated by the Franklin Discovery Academy district. The school has a 19.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and 21.83% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Its 2025–2026 statewide ranking was 443rd out of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 21st percentile and earning one star.
Franklin Discovery Academy’s clearest strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism was just 5.3% in 2024–2025, compared with 23.8% statewide. Academically, however, results were mixed and generally below Utah averages. Fourth grade was a bright spot, with 48.2% proficient in English language arts and 53.5% in science, both slightly above state results. Fourth-grade science also improved sharply from the prior year. In contrast, mathematics was the most significant concern. Proficiency was 23.4% in third grade, 30.3% in fourth grade, and only 13.0% in fifth grade, compared with state rates of roughly 45% to 50%. Sixth-grade math was also below the state across its reported range, while seventh-grade performance was under 40%.
Parents should also note the large differences between grades. Fifth grade showed low performance in every reported subject: 24.1% in English language arts, 13.0% in math, and 21.9% in science. The school’s ranking improved from the 7th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 21st percentile in 2025–2026, but it still ranks below most Utah schools. Because there is only one school in the data set, there is no nearby school-to-school comparison; the most useful benchmarks are the statewide results and differences among grade levels. Families may want to ask about math instruction, support for students moving from fourth to fifth grade, and whether the practices associated with fourth grade’s stronger results are being extended across the school.
