Summary:
Juab District serves about 2,758 students in five schools covering prekindergarten through grade 12 in a small Utah community, with three elementary schools, one junior high, and one high school. The schools vary considerably in size, from 280 students at Mona School to 897 students at Juab High. Overall, the district ranks near the middle of Utah districts, but individual school performance ranges from nationally notable elementary results to developing middle-school outcomes.
Mona School is the district’s clear academic leader and ranks in the top 10% of Utah elementary schools. It led the district in English, math, and science, with particularly strong math and science results. Nebo View School is the next strongest elementary option, performing above the state in several subjects, especially third-grade math. Red Cliff School has more mixed results: math is a relative strength, but elementary English and science scores are weaker, particularly in fifth grade. Families should also consider class size, since the elementary schools have similar student-teacher ratios near 20 to 1, while Juab High is higher at 25.6 to 1.
Juab High has shown the district’s greatest recent improvement, with rising test scores, a 98% graduation rate, and a 2.3% dropout rate. Juab Junior High has also improved in statewide ranking, though performance remains uneven: sixth-grade math and eighth-grade science are major areas for support. Attendance is the district’s most widespread concern. Chronic absenteeism is highest at Red Cliff School at 33%, followed by Nebo View School and Mona School. Parents comparing schools should weigh academic strengths alongside attendance patterns and the more targeted support needs at the junior high.
