Summary

Mckinley School is a public elementary school in Tremonton serving 586 students in kindergarten through 5th grade as part of Box Elder District. The school is about average statewide, ranking 278th of 563 Utah schools in 2025–2026, at the 51st percentile with three stars. Its student-teacher ratio was 21.7 in 2024–2025, and 39.76% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a moderately diverse range of family economic circumstances within the local area.

The most encouraging news is the school’s academic improvement. Mckinley’s mathematics proficiency exceeded the Utah average in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, averaging about 51.9%. Math results rose substantially from the prior year, especially in 4th grade, where proficiency increased from 35.0% to 55.3%. Science also improved sharply, although 5th-grade science remained below district and state averages. English Language Arts is the larger academic opportunity: the school’s average proficiency was about 43.9%, below the state average of about 46.2%, with 3rd-grade ELA the weakest relative result. The recent gains are notable because the school had ranked near the low 20s percentile in previous years.

Attendance is Mckinley’s most serious concern. Chronic absenteeism reached 52.2% in 2024–2025, compared with 32.0% across Box Elder District and 23.8% statewide. This was much higher than nearby Garland School at 2.3%, Fielding School at 27.2%, and North Park School at 40.5%. Mckinley ranked above North Park School, Discovery School, and Century School overall, but Garland School remains a strong nearby benchmark, particularly for attendance, literacy, and science. Sustaining math gains while improving attendance and ELA should be the school’s main priorities.
