Summary

Orchard School is a public elementary school in Orem serving 625 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade, in an area with several nearby schools and generally strong academic options. It is part of Alpine District, which ranks 32nd of 92 Utah districts. Orchard ranks 78th of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 86th percentile and earning four stars. Its performance has been consistently strong over several years, although Foothill School, Rocky Mountain School, and nearby Canyon Crest School currently rank higher.

English Language Arts is Orchard’s clearest academic strength. In 2025–26, proficiency ranged from 55.9% to 80.3% across grades 3–6, exceeding both district and state results in every tested grade. Its approximate four-grade ELA average was 70.8%, higher than nearby Rocky Mountain School and Foothill School. Science was another standout, averaging approximately 73.7% across grades 4–6 and ranking among the area’s best. Mathematics was above the state overall but less consistent: third- and fifth-grade results were solid, while sixth-grade proficiency was 39.0%, below the district and only slightly above the state. Families comparing schools may find Orchard especially appealing for literacy and science, while asking about sixth-grade math support.

Attendance has improved substantially, with chronic absenteeism falling from 30.6% in 2021–22 to 21.6% in 2024–25—slightly above the district but below Utah’s rate and better than most nearby schools, including Cascade School, Windsor School, and Bonneville School. Orchard’s 25:1 student-teacher ratio is higher than reported ratios at nearby peers, including Northridge School and Centennial Elementary. Overall, Orchard is a high-performing school with durable results, improving attendance, and a particularly strong literacy and science profile, with grade-level math consistency and staffing capacity worth monitoring.
