Summary

Mountain Trails School is an elementary school located in Eagle Mountain, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 830 students. It is part of the Alpine School District, which is ranked 30 out of 93 districts in Utah and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Mountain Trails School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years. The school's student proficiency rates on the RISE assessments are significantly lower than the Alpine District and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 24.1% compared to the district's 55.4% and the state's 48.6%. Additionally, Mountain Trails School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.8% to 39.5% over the past few years, which is well above the state average.

When comparing Mountain Trails School to other nearby elementary schools in the Alpine District, such as Black Ridge School, Saratoga Shores School, and Hidden Hollow School, it consistently underperforms. However, the school appears to be doing a better job supporting its economically disadvantaged students compared to its overall student population, as its ranking for low socioeconomic status students is much higher than its overall ranking. The school's higher per-student spending of $7,233 in 2018-2019 compared to some nearby schools does not seem to be driving improved academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a closer examination of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to identify areas for improvement.
