Summary

Thunder Ridge School is a large public elementary school in Saratoga Springs, Utah, serving prekindergarten through sixth grade and 1,093 students in the growing Alpine District. The school ranks in the middle of the state: 282nd of 563 Utah elementary schools, at the 50th percentile and earning three out of five stars. This is an improvement from the prior year’s 40th percentile, although it remains below most nearby schools in the same district.

Academically, Thunder Ridge is close to the Utah average overall, with stronger results in English language arts and science than in mathematics. Average proficiency was about 47.5% in ELA, 44.1% in math, and 54.1% in science. Sixth grade is the school’s strongest area: 56.7% of students were proficient in ELA and 61.6% in science, both competitive with or above state results. The clearest concern is fifth-grade math, where only 27% of students were proficient, compared with 51.8% across the district and 45% statewide. That weakness has appeared in multiple recent years and may be an important focus for families to ask about.

Thunder Ridge sits well below nearby high performers such as Riverview School, Saratoga Shores School, and Harvest School, which rank between the 89th and 91st percentiles, but it outperforms Pony Express School and Brookhaven School. Chronic absenteeism is another challenge at 25.6%, above district and state rates. Its student-teacher ratio of 25.4 to 1 has improved but remains relatively high. Overall, Thunder Ridge appears to be a middle-performing school with encouraging recent progress, especially in sixth grade, but with a need for stronger and more consistent upper-elementary mathematics outcomes.
