Summary

Cedar North School is an elementary school located in Cedar City, Utah, serving 611 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Iron District, which is ranked 32 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cedar North School faces some unique challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 15.6% to 30.0% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. The school's test scores in RISE/Mathematics, RISE/Science, and RISE/English Language Arts are generally below the district and state averages, with some exceptions, such as 5th-grade students performing better than the district and state in RISE/Mathematics and RISE/Science in 2021-2022. Additionally, Cedar North School has a relatively high percentage of low socioeconomic status students, ranking 37 out of 109 Utah elementary schools in this category in 2024-2025.

When comparing Cedar North School to nearby schools within the Iron District, some interesting patterns emerge. Parowan School and Enoch School consistently outperform Cedar North School in test scores, while Iron Springs School and Fiddlers Canyon School, which are closer in proximity, also tend to have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, Cedar North School's performance for low socioeconomic status students is relatively stronger, ranking in the top third of Utah elementary schools in this category.
