Summary

East Midvale School is a K–5 elementary school serving 499 students at 6990 S 300 E in Midvale, Utah. It is part of Canyons District, which ranks 36th of 92 Utah districts, around the 61st percentile statewide. The school serves a relatively high-need student population, with 69.74% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025.

East Midvale School has recently ranked near the bottom statewide: 515th of 563 schools, or the 9th percentile, in 2025–2026, with a 0-star rating. Its proficiency rates were 17.9%–26.2% in English language arts, 15.2%–32.4% in math, and 23.6%–32.3% in science—below both district and state averages in every reported grade and subject. Nearby results vary considerably. Within Canyons, East Sandy School ranked at the 39th percentile and Midvalley School at the 27th percentile, while Midvale School and Copperview School ranked at the 1st percentile. Schools such as Viewmont School, Mcmillan School, Grant School, and Woodstock School posted substantially stronger assessment results, though their student populations differ.

Attendance is a major concern: chronic absenteeism was 42.6% in 2024–2025, more than twice the district rate, although it has improved from 50.9% in 2021–2022. Fifth grade is a relative strength, particularly in math and science, and science is the school’s strongest tested subject overall. The student-teacher ratio was 18.1:1, a moderate figure that does not by itself explain the results. Overall, the clearest priorities are improving attendance, strengthening early-grade literacy and math, and examining practices at higher-performing nearby schools while recognizing that comparisons are descriptive, not proof of cause.
