Summary

Three Peaks School is an elementary school in Cedar City, Utah, serving 650 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Iron District, which is ranked 32 out of 93 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Three Peaks School's notable strengths is its performance with low-income students. Over the past 3 years, the school has consistently ranked among the top 5-17 elementary schools in Utah for this metric, earning a 5-star rating. However, the school faces challenges with higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average and lower academic proficiency in math, science, and English language arts compared to the district and state averages. The school's proximity to several other elementary schools in the Iron District, including Parowan School, Cedar South School, and Cedar North School, presents opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices to address these areas of concern.

Additionally, Three Peaks School has a co-located preschool program, Three Peaks Pre School, which may provide early intervention and support for incoming kindergarten students. The school's performance and the varying performance of nearby schools suggest that factors such as chronic absenteeism and the socioeconomic status of the student population may be influencing academic outcomes at Three Peaks School.
