Summary

Iron Springs School is a K–5 elementary school in Cedar City, Utah, serving 636 students in the Iron District, an area with several nearby elementary-school options. Overall, it is a solid above-average school: it ranks 189th of 563 Utah schools, in the 66th percentile, and has a three-star rating. Its 19.7:1 student-teacher ratio is higher than at Enoch School but lower than at Fiddlers Canyon School and Gateway Preparatory Academy.

The school’s clearest academic strengths are fourth- and fifth-grade mathematics and science. In 2025–2026, 65.4% of fourth graders and 66.1% of fifth graders were proficient in math, while fifth-grade science proficiency reached 69.9%—well above both district and state results. Fifth-grade English language arts was also strong at 55.3%. These results help explain why Iron Springs School compares favorably with nearby Three Peaks School and Cedar East School, and why it is generally competitive with Enoch School. However, third grade is a clear area for improvement: math proficiency was 45.8% and ELA proficiency was 39.8%, both below statewide results.

One of the school’s most notable features is its effectiveness with students from low-income households. In 2025–2026, this subgroup ranked 11th out of 139 Utah schools, in the 92nd percentile—an unusually strong result that was also evident in the prior year. The school’s free/reduced-price lunch rate was 33.33%, lower than at most nearby comparison schools. Families should also note that the overall ranking has slipped from the mid-70th percentile in some recent years to the mid-60s currently. Chronic absenteeism improved to 22.4% in 2023–2024, but the school’s 2024–2025 figure is unavailable, so its current standing on attendance cannot be determined.
