Summary:
Grand District in Utah serves 1,436 students across four schools, from preschool and kindergarten through 12th grade: Helen M. Knight School, Margaret L. Hopkin Middle School, Grand County High, and Grand Preschool.
The district ranks 73rd of 92 Utah districts, placing it in the 21st percentile, but results vary by school and grade. Grand County High has the strongest current statewide ranking, at the 30th percentile, and improved substantially from the 10th percentile in earlier years. Its 10th-grade English results are a standout: 55.6% of students were proficient, above the state rate of 48.2%. Margaret L. Hopkin Middle School ranks close behind at the 29th percentile and has particularly strong 8th-grade English and science results, both above state averages. In contrast, Helen M. Knight School, the largest school with 686 students, ranks at the 23rd percentile and trails the state in every reported subject, though some math scores improved recently.
Mathematics is the clearest academic challenge across the district, especially at Margaret L. Hopkin Middle School and Grand County High. Attendance is also a major concern: chronic absenteeism ranges from 36.4% at the middle school to 39.1% at the high school, compared with 23.8% statewide. The high school graduation rate is 85.8%, below the state’s 89.8%, while its dropout rate is higher than the state average. Families may want to ask schools about attendance supports, math intervention, and transition help between grade levels. Grand Preschool serves 60 students but has no academic or attendance results reported; its unusually high listed student-teacher ratio of 60 should be clarified.
