Summary

Ferron School is a PK–5 elementary school serving approximately 200 students in Ferron, a small rural community in Emery County, Utah. The school is part of the Emery District and serves a moderately economically diverse student population, with 51% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its 2025–26 ranking—35th out of 563 Utah elementary schools, in the 94th percentile with five stars—is its biggest distinction. That is considerably stronger than the available ranking for nearby Huntington School, which ranked 229th, or in the 59th percentile.

Academically, Ferron School is especially strong in the upper grades. In fifth grade, 62.5% of students were proficient in English language arts, 75% in mathematics, and 70% in science. These results exceeded both Emery District and Utah results, and Ferron School outperformed nearby Huntington School, Castle Dale School, and Cottonwood School in fifth-grade math and ELA. Fourth-grade math and science were also solid, although Castle Dale School reported stronger fourth-grade ranges in several subjects. The clearest academic concern is third grade: Ferron School reported 30–48% proficiency in both ELA and math, trailing the district and state in math and generally behind the nearby schools.

Attendance is the main operational issue. In 2024–25, 38.4% of Ferron School students were chronically absent, compared with 34.7% districtwide and 23.8% statewide. The rate also rose sharply from 19.4% the previous year. The student–teacher ratio improved to 20.0, but remains higher than at Huntington School, Castle Dale School, and Cottonwood School. Overall, Ferron School combines an excellent statewide ranking with notable fifth-grade achievement, while early-grade math and improving attendance are the most important areas to monitor.
