Summary

Mountainside School is a public elementary school in Mendon, Utah, serving 514 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade in the Cache District, a relatively high-performing district in the northern Utah area. The school is rated four stars and ranks 107th of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 81st percentile statewide for 2025–2026.

Mountainside has maintained a strong long-term record, ranking between the 81st and 92nd percentiles in the years reported. However, its current ranking declined from 46th statewide in 2024–2025. Mathematics is a major strength: proficiency exceeded the Utah average in every tested grade, with especially strong results in sixth grade. Science is also strong overall, led by an exceptional 84.8% proficiency in sixth grade. English Language Arts performance is more uneven. Sixth grade was very strong at 73.4%, while fourth grade was the clearest area for improvement at 43.3%, below both the state and district results.

Among nearby schools, Mountainside ranks below Heritage School and Nibley School, but above Wellsville School. Thomas Edison - South ranks even higher statewide and generally outperforms Mountainside on current tests. Mountainside’s chronic absenteeism rate of 19.7% is better than Utah’s 23.8% average, but higher than the rates at these leading nearby schools. Overall, it offers strong academics, particularly in mathematics and sixth grade, while attendance and fourth-grade ELA deserve continued attention.
