Mountain Sunrise Academy

Public, Charter Grades K-8

447^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 563 Utah Elementary Schools

Better than 21% of Utah elementary schools

Summary

Mountain Sunrise Academy in Saratoga Springs, Utah, serves 493 students in grades K–8 and is smaller than most nearby schools, which generally serve younger grades and 600 or more students. Its 2025–2026 statewide ranking was 447th out of 563 schools, placing it at the 21st percentile. That is an improvement from the 7th percentile in each of the previous two years, but it remains well below nearby schools such as Riverview School, ranked at the 91st percentile, and Dry Creek School, ranked at the 75th percentile.

The most urgent concern is attendance: 56.7% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, compared with 23.8% statewide and 20.8% in Alpine District, where all of the nearby comparison schools are located. Academic results are also below Utah averages in nearly every tested area. Mathematics is the clearest weakness, with proficiency ranging from 14.9% in fifth grade to 26.5% in fourth grade. The school trails every nearby comparison school in fifth- and sixth-grade math; for example, Riverview School reported 70.0% proficiency in fifth-grade math. English language arts is stronger in fifth grade, where the school’s 45.8% proficiency was nearly equal to the state average, but earlier grades remain notably behind.

There are encouraging signs. Science proficiency rose by about 12 to 18 percentage points across grades 4–6, and the overall ranking improved. The student-teacher ratio, 23.6 students per teacher, is comparable to or better than several nearby schools, suggesting that staffing levels alone do not explain the achievement gap. The school’s district context is also different: Mountain Sunrise Academy’s district ranks 82nd of 92 Utah districts, while Alpine District ranks 32nd. For families evaluating the school, the key questions are whether attendance is improving, whether mathematics instruction is becoming more consistent across grades, and whether recent science gains continue.
