Summary

Orem School is a PK–6 elementary school serving 659 students in Orem, Utah, a community within the Alpine District. It is one of the stronger-performing schools in the area, ranking 125th out of 563 Utah schools for 2025–2026, in the 78th percentile, and earning a four-star rating. The student-teacher ratio is 22.8 to 1, and 30.8% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Orem stands out among nearby schools. It leads nearby Alpine District schools in English language arts across all reported grades, with proficiency ranging from 57.9% to 70.9%, compared with roughly 46% statewide. Mathematics is also above state averages in every reported grade, although fourth-grade math at 51.7% and sixth-grade math at 43.9% are areas to watch. Science is another strength, particularly sixth grade at 65.1%. Overall, Orem’s latest results are stronger than those of nearby schools such as Cascade School, Vineyard School, and Centennial Elementary. Its closest high-performing alternative, Noah Webster Academy, ranks 197th statewide, compared with Orem’s 125th-place ranking.

Attendance is a notable positive: chronic absenteeism fell from 29.9% in 2021–2022 to 21.7% in 2024–2025, the lowest rate among the nearby Alpine District schools with available data. Orem’s long-term academic record remains strong, but its statewide percentile has declined from 94th in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022 to 78th currently. This looks more like moderation from exceptional performance than a collapse, since current results remain above state averages in every reported subject and grade. Parents may want to monitor whether fourth- and sixth-grade math improve while the school maintains its strong ELA, science, and attendance results.
