Elementary Schools in Iron District

Summary:

The Iron District in Utah is home to 11 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 32 out of 93 districts in the state and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Two schools stand out in the district: Fiddlers Canyon School and Enoch School, both of which are ranked among the top 111 and 102 elementary schools in Utah, respectively, and are the only schools in the district rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Additionally, Parowan School stands out for its high proficiency rates in mathematics and science, significantly outperforming the district and state averages.

While the district's overall academic performance is on par with or slightly above the state averages, there is a wide range of performance across the individual schools. Schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates, such as Escalante Valley School, tend to have lower test scores, suggesting a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. The district also faces a consistent chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% across all schools, which may be an area of concern that needs to be addressed.
