Summary

Orem School is an elementary school in Orem, Utah, serving 680 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Alpine School District, which is ranked 30th out of 93 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Orem School has consistently ranked highly among Utah elementary schools, placing in the top 60 for the past several years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in multiple years.

Orem School consistently outperforms the Alpine District and state averages in RISE test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, 70.7% of 3rd graders at Orem School were proficient or better in RISE Mathematics, compared to 55.4% for the Alpine District and 48.6% for the state. The school also ranks very highly for its performance with specific student subgroups, ranking 22nd out of 429 Utah elementary schools for its White students and 5th out of 162 schools for its low socioeconomic status students in 2023-2024. Additionally, Orem School has maintained relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.8% to 25.4% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools in the Alpine District, such as Vineyard School, Cascade School, and Centennial Elementary, Orem School stands out as a top performer, with significantly higher proficiency rates in RISE Mathematics in 2024-2025. However, the school's relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 27.06% in 2023-2024 suggests it may not be serving a highly diverse or economically disadvantaged student population, which raises questions about equity and access to the school's high-quality education for all students in the community.
