Summary

Beehive School is an elementary school located in Kearns, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 477. It is part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 70 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Beehive School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking between 458 and 517 over the past 10 years, and has received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time.

Beehive School faces several challenges that contribute to its poor performance. The school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 35.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Beehive School's test scores are consistently lower than the Granite District and Utah state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 27.1% of 3rd graders at Beehive School were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 37.1% in the Granite District and 48.6% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.87% to 58.28% over the past few years, suggesting a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Beehive School to nearby schools in the Granite District, it consistently performs worse on key metrics such as test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free/reduced lunch rates. For example, Diamond Ridge School, which is about 1.4 miles away, has significantly higher test scores and a lower student-teacher ratio than Beehive School. Addressing the challenges faced by Beehive School, such as student engagement, academic support, and resource allocation, will be crucial for improving the school's performance and providing a quality education for its students.
