Summary

Parkside Elementary is a public school in Orem, Utah, serving 588 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade as part of the Alpine District, a moderately strong district with a 65th-percentile statewide standing.

Parkside’s school-level results are considerably weaker than the district’s overall performance. In 2025–2026, it ranked 435th of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 23rd percentile and earning one star. Its results have improved gradually from the 17th percentile in 2023–2024, but the school remains in the lower quarter statewide. Average proficiency was 33.0% in English language arts, 33.6% in math, and 38.1% in science, compared with district averages of 52.9%, 53.5%, and 60.9%. Sixth grade is a particular concern, with only 27.4% proficient in ELA and 25.4% in math. Science and fourth-grade math showed encouraging gains, but progress has not been consistent across all grades.

The school also serves a relatively high-need community: 61.05% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, among the highest rates in the comparison group. Parkside’s student-teacher ratio was 23.2, somewhat higher than several nearby schools. Westmore School is the closest comparison in student need and performance, yet ranks slightly higher statewide. Other nearby schools are substantially stronger: Orem School, only 0.76 miles away, had proficiency rates roughly 22 to 29 percentage points higher, while Trailside Elementary and Vineyard School also outperformed Parkside. Promising subgroup results, particularly for low-income students, suggest areas of practice the school may be able to build on.
