Summary

Midvalley School is a K–5 elementary school serving 635 students in Midvale, Utah, within the relatively strong Canyons District and near several other elementary schools. The school ranked 410th of 563 Utah schools in 2025–2026, placing it at the 27th percentile with a one-star rating. This makes it a middle performer among nearby schools, but a relatively weak performer statewide.

Academic results are below both district and state levels in every tested subject. About 37.0%–39.8% of students were proficient in grades 3–5 English language arts, 34.0%–36.6% in mathematics, and 41.4%–46.2% in science. Mathematics is the clearest concern, with proficiency below 37% in every tested grade. Fifth grade is generally the school’s strongest tested grade, while science is stronger than the other subjects but still below district and state results. Peruvian Park School, only about 2.1 miles away in the same district, is a striking comparison: its proficiency rates are generally 40–50 percentage points higher. Mcmillan School and Longview School also rank substantially higher, while Midvalley outperforms East Midvale School, Midvale School, Copperview School, and Sandy School.

Attendance is another important challenge. Chronic absenteeism was 29.4% in 2024–2025—an improvement from the 37.0% peak in 2021–2022, but still well above the district’s 18.8% and Utah’s 23.8%. Midvalley also reported a relatively high 23.0:1 student-teacher ratio. Its ranking has improved modestly from 2024–2025 but remains below its 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 standings. For parents, the main takeaway is that Midvalley offers stronger results than several nearby schools, yet still has substantial room to improve, particularly through focused mathematics instruction, literacy support, and attendance efforts.
