Summary:
The Washington District in Utah is home to 31 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The schools in this district vary significantly in size, with student populations ranging from 51 students at Springdale School to 3,324 students at Utah Online K8. The academic performance of these schools also differs, with some schools ranking among the top in the state while others struggle to meet proficiency standards.
Several standout schools in the district include Crimson View School, which ranks 11th out of 561 Utah elementary schools and has consistently earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school excels in both mathematics and science, with over 70% of students proficient or better. Another high-performing school is South Mesa Elementary, which ranks 52nd in the state and also holds a 5-star rating. Horizon School is another standout, ranking 90th in Utah and earning a 4-star rating for its strong academic performance in mathematics and English Language Arts.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and those struggling to meet proficiency standards. Schools with higher rates of free and reduced-price lunch, such as Coral Cliffs School and Sandstone School, tend to have lower proficiency rates in core subjects. Additionally, the district as a whole faces challenges, with an average chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%, which is higher than the state average. The data suggests that the Washington District may need to focus on addressing these performance gaps and improving outcomes for all students.
