Summary

Goshen School is a public elementary school in the small Goshen, Utah, community, serving 327 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade as part of Nebo District. Although the district ranks around the middle of Utah districts, the school’s 2025–2026 results place it in the 23rd statewide percentile, with a one-star rating and a rank of 436th among 563 Utah schools.

The school’s academic challenges are broad. English language arts proficiency was 26.5% in third grade, 31.0% in fourth grade, and 29.6% in fifth grade, below both district and state rates in every reported grade. Mathematics was stronger in third grade, where 50.0% of students were proficient—about the state level—but fell to 42.9% in fourth grade and 20.4% in fifth grade. Science proficiency was 38.1% in fourth grade and 31.8% in fifth grade. Fifth grade is therefore the clearest priority, especially mathematics. Some results improved from the previous year, but achievement remains low. The school’s ranking has also declined from the 67th percentile in 2015–2016 to the low 20s in recent years.

Compared with nearby schools, Park View School and Spring Lake School rank in the 70th-plus percentiles, while Taylor School ranks in the 53rd percentile. Mona School, in a neighboring district, ranks in the 90th percentile. Goshen’s 25:1 student-teacher ratio is the highest among the nearby Nebo comparison schools, which may make individualized support more difficult, though the data do not prove a cause. Chronic absenteeism improved to 26.0% in 2024–2025, but remains above Utah’s 23.8% rate. These figures suggest that sustained attendance work, additional staffing or intervention capacity, and closer attention to fifth-grade readiness are important areas for the school.
