Summary:

Emery District has six elementary schools serving 958 students in small communities, with most schools serving prekindergarten through fifth grade and Book Cliff School extending through sixth grade. Schools range from 115 students at Cottonwood School to 224 at Huntington School. The Emery District ranks around the middle of Utah districts overall, but school results vary considerably.

Ferron School is the clearest current academic standout, ranking 35th of 563 Utah elementary schools, in the 94th percentile, with five stars. It performs especially well in mathematics and science, while also showing strong fifth-grade English language arts results. Castle Dale School stands out for having the lowest chronic absenteeism rate, the most favorable student-teacher ratio, and strong fourth-grade results in English, mathematics, and science. Cleveland School has particularly strong mathematics results, although it also has the highest absenteeism rate. Cottonwood School shows promising English and mathematics performance and has a comparatively low student-teacher ratio.

Huntington School has a middle-range current ranking and some solid fifth-grade results, but its fourth-grade English and science results, fifth-grade mathematics, and attendance require attention. Book Cliff School faces the greatest combination of challenges, including weaker fourth-grade results, the highest free/reduced-price lunch rate, and low historical rankings, despite having the lowest student-teacher ratio and highest older spending figure. Chronic absenteeism is the most consistent districtwide concern: every school exceeds the statewide rate, and all except Castle Dale exceed the district rate. Parents should also note that many achievement results are reported as ranges and that ranking data for several schools are historical, so exact comparisons and current conclusions should be made cautiously.
