Summary

Willow Springs School is a public K–5 elementary school in Draper, Utah, serving 562 students in the Canyons District amid several nearby elementary schools, including Draper School, Oak Hollow School, Sprucewood School, and Sunrise School. It ranks 196th of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 65th percentile and making it a solidly above-average school statewide.

Academically, Willow Springs is performing above Utah averages in every reported 2025–26 tested grade and subject. Average proficiency is 53.5% in English language arts, 54.7% in mathematics, and 54.9% in science. Third grade is a particular strength, with 58.5% proficiency in math and 57.2% in ELA, while fifth-grade science reaches 58.7%. Fourth grade is the clearest area for improvement: math proficiency is 52.5% and science is 51.0%, both below Canyons District averages. The school’s ranking has declined from a peak of 9th statewide in 2016–17, but it has remained above average in recent years.

Locally, Willow Springs is competitive with several schools but not the area’s top performer. It ranks behind Sunrise School, which ranks 12th statewide and is substantially stronger across current subjects, but ahead of Crescent School and Sprucewood School. Results are more mixed against Altara School, Draper School, and Oak Hollow School. Chronic absenteeism improved to 23.6% in 2024–25 from 35.5% in 2021–22, an encouraging trend, though it remains above the district’s 18.8% rate. For families, the overall picture is a dependable above-average school with improving attendance, strong third-grade outcomes, and a need for continued attention to fourth-grade math, science, and consistent attendance.
