Summary:
Kane District has four listed elementary schools serving grades K–6 and about 737 students in total. The schools are concentrated around Kanab School, which enrolls 523 students, while Valley School serves 162, Big Water School serves 40, and Lake Powell School serves 12. The district ranks 26th of 92 statewide, or around the 72nd percentile, and its reported academic results are generally stronger than Utah averages.
Valley School has the strongest current overall profile among schools with usable academic results. Its reported mathematics and science proficiency ranges are generally high, and its chronic absenteeism rate is 26.2%, below both the district’s 31.2% and the state’s 23.8%. English language arts performance is more uneven, particularly in fifth grade. Kanab School, the district’s largest school, performs above the state in every reported subject and grade and has a recent ranking around the 67th percentile. However, its absenteeism rate is higher at 37.5%, making attendance an important area for improvement.
Big Water School has a notable historical record, including highly ranked years more than a decade ago, but its current elementary test results are suppressed and cannot be evaluated. Its 65.9% chronic absenteeism rate is the most serious visible concern in the district, although its small enrollment can make percentages fluctuate considerably. Lake Powell School is also too small for easy comparison, and its available test records cover grades 7–10 rather than the listed K–6 span, so its elementary performance should be verified before drawing conclusions. Overall, families will find the clearest current evidence at Valley and Kanab, while attendance and data availability are the main concerns elsewhere.
