Summary
Draper School is a relatively large K–5 public elementary school in Draper, Utah, serving 680 students in the Canyons District. It ranks 173rd out of 563 Utah schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 69th percentile, and has a three-star rating. The school’s 21.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio is typical for the area. Its 14.12% free/reduced-price lunch rate is relatively low compared with several nearby schools, although this measure does not capture every aspect of student or family circumstance.
Draper generally performs above district and state averages in English language arts and mathematics. Across grades 3–5, about 56% of students are proficient in ELA and about 58% in math. Fifth grade is the standout, with 66.2% proficient in ELA, 60.4% in math, and 64.5% in science. Fourth grade is the clearest improvement area: results were 49% in ELA, 50.9% in math, and 44.8% in science. The science figure was suppressed for 3rd grade and should not be interpreted as zero. Draper currently outperforms schools such as Oak Hollow School and Sprucewood School, but trails local leaders Sunrise School and Lone Peak School by roughly 15–25 percentage points in many subjects.
For parents, the biggest concern is that Draper’s statewide standing has declined from the 86th–93rd percentile during much of 2015–2023 to the 69th percentile today. Mathematics, especially in fourth grade, has also fallen from stronger earlier results. Attendance is another consideration: chronic absenteeism improved from 34.7% in 2021–2022 to 24.5% in 2024–2025, but remains above both the district’s 18.8% and Utah’s 23.8%. Overall, Draper appears to be a solid, above-average school with strong fifth-grade outcomes and better performance than most nearby schools, while offering clear opportunities to improve fourth-grade instruction, math, science, and consistent attendance.
