Summary
Springside School is a PK–6 elementary school serving 827 students in Saratoga Springs, Utah, within Alpine District. Located at 694 South Highpoint Drive, it is surrounded by several nearby elementary schools, making local comparisons useful for families. Springside ranks 206th of 563 Utah schools, placing it at the 63rd percentile with a three-star rating. That makes it a solid mid-to-upper-performing school statewide, though it trails nearby leaders such as Riverview School and Saratoga Shores School, ranked at the 91st and 89th percentiles.
Academic results are strongest in science and selected upper grades. Springside’s average proficiency was 60.7% in science, 50.8% in math, and 50.5% in English Language Arts. Fifth-grade math stands out at 64.6%, continuing a multiyear strength, while fifth- and sixth-grade science results also exceed state levels. The main academic concerns are earlier grades: third-grade ELA proficiency was 40.7%, and third-grade math was 47.4%, both below district results. Springside generally outperforms Pony Express School, Brookhaven School, and often Sage Hills School, but results are mixed against Dry Creek School, Snow Springs School, and Silver Lake Elementary.
Attendance is an important area to watch. In 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 27.6%, higher than both the district’s 20.8% and Utah’s 23.8%. This has improved from 32.6% in 2021–2022 but remains a meaningful challenge. On the positive side, the student-teacher ratio improved from 27.5 to 23.7 between 2022–2023 and 2024–2025. Springside’s 12.7% free/reduced-price lunch rate is relatively low compared with many nearby schools, but similar context does not fully explain the stronger results at Riverview School and Saratoga Shores School. Overall, Springside offers a stable foundation, notable science and upper-grade strengths, and clear opportunities to improve early-grade skills and attendance.
