Summary

Castle Heights School is a public K–5 elementary school in Price, Utah, serving 369 students in the Carbon District in a relatively small, close-knit community. The school ranks 228th of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 60th percentile statewide. That is higher than nearby Creekview School (42nd percentile), Sally Mauro School (41st), and Wellington School (12th). However, the school’s ranking has declined from the 70th percentile in each of the previous two years.

Academically, the clearest strengths are third- and fourth-grade mathematics and science. In 2025–2026, 60% of third graders and 61.4% of fourth graders met math expectations, exceeding both district and state results. Science was also strong, particularly in fifth grade, where 64% met expectations—well above the district’s 53% and Utah’s 52.2%. English language arts was strongest in third grade, at 55%, but fifth-grade results were weaker: 39% in ELA and 32.8% in math, both below district and state levels. By comparison, Creekview had a notable advantage in fifth-grade ELA, with 61.8% meeting expectations.

Attendance is an encouraging feature. Chronic absenteeism was 20.2% in 2024–2025, better than the Carbon District rate of 28.1% and lower than the rates reported for Creekview, Sally Mauro, and Wellington. The student-teacher ratio was 18.9:1, more favorable than Creekview and Wellington, though slightly higher than Sally Mauro. The school also ranked exceptionally well for effectiveness with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, reaching the 94th percentile in 2023–2024. Overall, Castle Heights combines solid local standing, improving attendance, and strong science and middle-grade results, while fifth-grade math and literacy are the main areas to watch.
