Trailside Elementary

Trailside Elementary is a large public school in Vineyard, Utah, serving about 1,052 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade as part of Alpine District. Its size is notable: enrollment is substantially higher than nearby schools, which generally serve about 400 to 760 students. Trailside currently has a three-star SchoolDigger rating and ranks in the 58th percentile statewide, an improvement from the 46th percentile in 2023–24.

Trailside is a middle-to-upper performer among nearby schools. It ranks below Orem School, Lindon School, Freedom Preparatory Academy - Vineyard, and Aspen School, but it is ahead of Vineyard School, Windsor School, Bonneville School, Timpanogos Academy, Parkside Elementary, and Franklin Discovery Academy in the available rankings. The student-teacher ratio improved sharply, from 29.4 in 2023–24 to 23.4 in 2024–25, although it remains somewhat higher than at most nearby schools. Trailside’s 23.67% free- or reduced-price lunch rate reflects a varied student population, and its low socioeconomic status subgroup ranked at the 71st percentile statewide.

In 2025–26, Trailside’s average proficiency was approximately 49.7% in English language arts, 48.8% in math, and 56.3% in science. Science is the strongest subject, while fourth- and fifth-grade results are generally the most competitive. The clearest academic priority is third grade, where proficiency was 41.3% in ELA and 40.7% in math—below both district and state rates. Sixth-grade science was another weaker area at 54.7%, compared with 63.8% across the district. Trailside generally exceeded statewide rates in later grades and subjects, but it still trails the strongest nearby schools, especially Orem School and Lindon School. Recent school-specific attendance data are incomplete, so Trailside’s current chronic absenteeism rate cannot be compared reliably with other schools.
