Summary

Sally Mauro School is a public elementary school in Helper, Utah, serving 293 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade as part of Carbon District. For 2025–2026, it ranks 332nd of 563 Utah schools, in the 41st statewide percentile, and receives two stars. That is a meaningful improvement from the prior year’s 25th percentile, although the school’s results have varied considerably from year to year.

Mathematics is currently one of the school’s clearest strengths. Sally Mauro is above district averages in math for third, fourth, and fifth grade; the third-grade result is reported as 50–68%, while fourth and fifth grade results are 48.4% and 39.6%. Fifth-grade science is another bright spot at 56.2%, above both district and state results. English Language Arts is more uneven: fourth grade is slightly above the district average, but fifth grade is weaker at 35.5%, below both district and state results. Compared with nearby Wellington School, Sally Mauro performs better in most tested subjects and has a much higher statewide ranking.

The biggest concern is attendance. Chronic absenteeism reached 34.4% in 2024–2025, above the district’s 28.1% and Utah’s 23.8%, and it has risen steadily since 2022–2023. This may affect learning consistency and contribute to year-to-year swings. Sally Mauro is academically close to Creekview School, ranking only three places behind it, but Creekview has stronger ELA results and lower absenteeism. Castle Heights School is the strongest nearby comparison, with a 60th-percentile ranking and much lower absenteeism, though Sally Mauro has higher fifth-grade math performance. Its favorable 18.3-to-1 student-teacher ratio is a relative strength.
