Summary

Viewmont School is a public elementary school in Murray, Utah, serving 423 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Murray District, which is ranked 41 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Viewmont School consistently outperforms the Murray District and the state of Utah in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 57.9% of 3rd graders at Viewmont School were proficient or better in RISE/Mathematics, compared to 50.9% for the Murray District and 48.6% for the state. The school has a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 25% of Utah elementary schools in recent years, and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Viewmont School has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 15.8% to 25.2% in recent years.

Viewmont School's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby McMillan School and Parkside School within the Murray District. While two nearby public magnet schools, Grant School and Horizon School, have some higher academic proficiency rates in certain subjects and grade levels, Viewmont School's overall performance is still competitive, particularly in mathematics and science. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 20.4 to 21.5 in recent years, may be a contributing factor to its academic success.
