Summary

Black Ridge School is a public elementary school in Eagle Mountain, Utah, serving prekindergarten through sixth grade and about 842 students in a growing suburban area. Part of the Alpine District, it ranks 147th out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 74th percentile and earning four stars. This is a strong local position, although Riverview School, Harvest School, and Ranches Academy rank higher. The school’s student-teacher ratio is 22.7 to 1, a notable improvement from 26.5 to 1 in 2022-2023.

Academic results are generally above Utah averages in every tested subject. Black Ridge is especially strong in science, averaging about 63.9% proficiency across fourth through sixth grades, including 71.6% in sixth grade. Mathematics averages about 55.5%, led by third grade at 69.0%, while English language arts averages about 54.8%, with particularly strong results in third and fifth grades. The main areas to watch are sixth-grade math at 40.6%, sixth-grade ELA at 47.5%, and fourth-grade ELA at 48.6%. Compared with nearby schools, Black Ridge generally outperforms Desert Sky, Brookhaven School, and Pony Express School, but trails Riverview and Harvest, particularly in mathematics.

Attendance has improved from a 32.6% chronic absenteeism rate in 2021-2022 to 23.9% in 2024-2025, though that remains above the Alpine District rate of 20.8%. The school’s attendance is still better than most nearby schools with reported figures, including Riverview’s 26.5% and Pony Express’s 31.2%. Overall, Black Ridge appears to be a solid, improving school with strong science performance, better staffing levels, and results above state averages. Families may want to ask how the school is addressing sixth-grade math and ELA, uneven fourth-grade results, and continued absenteeism.
