Mountain Sunrise Academy

The Mountain Sunrise Academy area has one listed school, serving students from kindergarten through eighth grade in Saratoga Springs, Utah. The school enrolls 493 students and has a student-teacher ratio of 23.6 to 1. Because there is only one school in the Mountain Sunrise Academy district, there are no school-to-school comparisons available. Families should instead focus on the school’s academic trends, attendance, class size, and statewide standing.

The school’s statewide ranking improved in 2025–2026, moving from the 7th percentile in the two previous years to the 21st percentile, although it remains below the middle of Utah schools. Science was the clearest area of progress: proficiency increased in every tested grade, reaching about 41% overall. English language arts results were mixed, with fifth grade nearly matching the Utah average at 45.8%, while third and fourth grades were lower. Mathematics is the biggest academic concern. Only about 20% of students were proficient overall, compared with approximately 43% statewide, and every tested grade had a sizable gap.

Attendance is another major issue for families to consider. Chronic absenteeism was reported at 56.7%, compared with 23.8% statewide, meaning that more than half of students missed enough school to be classified as chronically absent. High absence rates can limit learning time and make it harder for students to keep up, although the data does not prove that absenteeism caused the academic results. Overall, the school shows encouraging recent improvement in science and statewide ranking, but parents should ask about plans to strengthen mathematics, improve early-grade ELA, reduce chronic absenteeism, and support students who are falling behind.
