Summary

Garland School is a public elementary school in Garland, Utah, serving 658 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in the Box Elder District. It is one of the larger schools in the local comparison group and stands out as a strong recent performer in the surrounding Box Elder area.

For 2025–2026, Garland School ranked 105th out of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 81st percentile and earning a four-star SchoolDigger rating. It ranked first among the nearby Box Elder District schools, well ahead of Fielding School at the 53rd percentile, McKinley School at the 51st percentile, and Discovery School at the 47th percentile. Students outperformed both district and state averages in every reported English language arts, math, and science assessment for grades 3–5. Math was the clearest strength: 67.9% of fourth graders and 64.7% of fifth graders reached proficiency, with fifth-grade performance about 19 percentage points above both district and state results. Garland also compared favorably with higher-ranked-area schools such as Mountainside School and Wellsville School.

Attendance is another notable positive. Chronic absenteeism was reported at 2.3% in 2024–2025, far below the Box Elder District rate of 32.0% and below nearby schools such as North Park School and McKinley School. Because the rate fell sharply from 36.3% in 2022–2023, families may want to see whether the improvement continues. Overall, the school’s strong achievement, especially in math and science, combined with its rebound to the 81st percentile, makes it one of the strongest elementary options in its immediate area. Thomas Edison - South remains the broader comparison group’s top-ranked school, but Garland compares especially well with the other nearby elementary schools.
