Summary

Ranches Academy in Eagle Mountain, Utah, is a small K–6 school serving about 360 students in a rapidly growing area where most nearby elementary schools enroll roughly 777 to 1,096 students. Its smaller size and 20.0-to-1 student-teacher ratio distinguish it from many local alternatives. The school is part of the Ranches Academy organization, which ranks 15th of 92 Utah districts and is in the 84th percentile statewide. As an individual school, it ranks 111th of 563 Utah schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 80th percentile and earning a four-star rating.

Academically, Ranches Academy performed above Utah averages in every reported grade and subject. About 57.6% of students were proficient across grades 3–6 in English language arts, compared with about 45.7% statewide, while mathematics proficiency averaged approximately 60.8%, compared with roughly 45.7% statewide. Science was especially strong, averaging about 69.9% across grades 4–6. Sixth grade stands out, with 67.3% proficiency in ELA, 62.8% in math, and 88.3% in science. Nearby Saratoga Shores School ranks higher overall and often leads in ELA and math, but Ranches posted a slightly higher sixth-grade ELA result and a notably stronger sixth-grade science result. Black Ridge School is another strong local peer, though Ranches was stronger in several sixth-grade measures.

The school’s main areas to watch are its modest ranking decline from the 86th percentile in 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 to the 80th percentile currently, along with recent grade-five mathematics declines. Attendance has improved substantially: chronic absenteeism fell from 43.4% in 2021–2022 to 24.2% in 2024–2025, close to the 23.8% state rate. Overall, Ranches Academy offers a compelling combination of small enrollment, strong achievement, and particularly impressive upper-grade science results, while Saratoga Shores School remains the strongest nearby comparison by overall ranking.
