Summary

Manila School is a public elementary school in Pleasant Grove, Utah, serving 588 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade as part of the Alpine District. For 2025–2026, it ranks in the 72nd percentile statewide and has four stars, placing it 156th among 563 Utah elementary schools. The school is in an area with a wide range of nearby academic outcomes: it ranks below high-performing Cedar Ridge School and Deerfield School, but ahead of most other comparison schools.

Academically, Manila’s strongest areas are upper-grade mathematics and science. Math proficiency averaged about 56.7% across grades 3–6, above the statewide comparison rate at every grade level, with sixth grade reaching 56.4%. Science averaged about 62.0% in grades 4–6, also above district and state comparisons; sixth-grade science was especially strong at 69.6%. English language arts was more uneven, averaging about 52.7%. Sixth-grade ELA was a strength at 60.8%, but third-grade ELA was a concern at 45.6%, below both district and state rates. Overall results have remained above average in recent years, although the school’s ranking has eased from an 82nd-percentile peak in 2020–2021.

Attendance is Manila’s clearest challenge. In 2024–2025, 27.3% of students were chronically absent, higher than the Alpine District rate of 20.8% and Utah’s 23.8%. This was also higher than Cedar Ridge School and Deerfield School. Manila’s student-teacher ratio was 25.0, somewhat higher than Cedar Ridge’s 23.0. Its free/reduced-price lunch rate was 12.93%, relatively low compared with many nearby schools. Improving attendance and early literacy could help Manila narrow the gap with the area’s top performers while building on its solid math and science results.
