Summary

Red Cliff School is a public elementary school in Nephi, Utah, serving 599 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade in the Juab District. Its relatively large enrollment serves a local community with a moderate level of economic need, with 28.55% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has improved considerably over time and currently holds a three-star rating, ranking in the 53rd percentile among Utah schools.

Red Cliff’s recent academic results show solid progress, especially in mathematics. In 2025–26, proficiency averaged approximately 55.2% in mathematics, 50.7% in science, and 44.0% in English language arts across the tested grades. Third-grade math was a particular strength at 61.2%, which was 11.1 percentage points above the state. However, fifth grade was the school’s weakest area across all three subjects: 36.0% proficiency in ELA, 44.4% in math, and 44.5% in science. Red Cliff ranks below two nearby schools in the same district: Mona School ranks at the 90th percentile, while Nebo View School ranks at the 67th percentile. Both also outperform Red Cliff in most tested subjects, making them useful local examples to study.

Attendance is Red Cliff’s clearest operational challenge. Chronic absenteeism was 33.0% in 2024–25, compared with 14.5% across the Juab District and 23.8% statewide. The rate has improved from 38.8% in 2021–22 but remains persistently high. Staffing levels are similar to nearby schools, with 20.3 students per teacher, so the reported ratio does not appear to explain the performance gap. One notable strength is the school’s low-socioeconomic-status subgroup effectiveness, which ranked at the 98th percentile statewide in 2025–26. Overall, Red Cliff is an improving, mid-performing school with promising math and student-support practices, but reducing absenteeism and strengthening fifth-grade instruction—especially ELA—are the clearest priorities.
