Summary
Viewmont School is a K–6 elementary school in Murray, Utah, serving 433 students in an area with several nearby elementary options and belonging to the Murray District. The school ranks in the 71st statewide percentile—161st out of 563 Utah elementary schools—and has received four stars. Although its ranking declined from the 78th percentile in 2023–2025, Viewmont remains one of the stronger schools in the immediate Murray area. The district itself ranks 54th of 92 Utah districts, or the 41st statewide percentile.
Viewmont’s latest academic results are broadly stronger than state and district averages. The clearest highlights are third-grade English language arts, with 69.9% of students proficient, third-grade math at 65.7%, and fifth-grade math at 72.1%. Fifth- and sixth-grade science are also strong, at 59.0% and 64.2%. Sixth-grade math is a relative weakness at 37.3%, essentially matching the Utah average, while fourth-grade science is also close to the state average. Among nearby schools, Viewmont currently ranks ahead of McMillan School, Grant School, Longview School, Horizon School, Liberty School, and Parkside School.
Attendance has improved: chronic absenteeism was 19.8% in 2024–2025, below both the district and Utah rates, though roughly one in five students was still chronically absent. Viewmont’s 19.2:1 student-teacher ratio is moderate—better than McMillan, Grant, and Horizon, but not as low as Liberty or Parkside. Its free/reduced-price lunch rate of 21.71% is comparatively low among nearby schools, providing useful context when comparing results but not serving as a measure of school quality. Families may also note that nearby Calvin S. Smith School ranks higher statewide, at the 81st percentile, but operates in a different district context. Overall, Viewmont offers strong, fairly balanced academics and appears to be one of the better-performing elementary choices in the Murray area.
