Summary

Mountainville Academy is an alternative public school in Alpine, Utah, serving 716 students from pre-kindergarten through ninth grade in a community with several nearby charter and alternative-school options. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 22.2:1, somewhat higher than Ascent Academies of Utah Lehi (19.1:1), Renaissance Academy (18.2:1), and Lincoln Academy (20.6:1), but lower than Canyon Grove Academy (37:1). Its reported free/reduced-price lunch rate was 3.35%, among the lowest in the comparison group, although this measure does not fully describe family income.

Academically, Mountainville is one of the stronger nearby schools for grades 3–6. In 2025–2026, average proficiency was 58.4% in English language arts, 63.5% in mathematics, and 66.4% in science—above Utah averages in every tested grade and subject. Mathematics was a particular strength, with Mountainville averaging approximately 17.8 percentage points above the state. Results also rebounded after a weaker 2024–2025 year, especially in math and science. Compared with nearby schools, Mountainville was broadly similar to Lincoln Academy, somewhat behind Renaissance Academy in math and science, and stronger than larger Lakeview Academy in all three subjects. Sixth-grade ELA (49.3%) and math (53.4%) are the clearest academic areas needing attention.

The most important concern is attendance. Mountainville’s chronic absenteeism rate was 46.7% in 2024–2025, nearly double Utah’s 23.8% and much higher than Lincoln Academy (9.4%), Athenian eAcademy (12.8%), Lakeview Academy (21.4%), and Renaissance Academy (24.2%). The rate has risen sharply from 17.0% in 2020–2021, creating a notable gap between strong test results and frequent missed instructional time. Overall, Mountainville offers solid academic performance, particularly in math and science, but families should ask how the school is addressing absenteeism and supporting sixth-grade students.
