Summary
Moroni School is a public elementary school in Moroni, Utah, serving 363 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade as part of the North Sanpete District. The school serves a relatively high-need student population: 62.26% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, and the student-teacher ratio was 24.7, the highest among the nearby comparison schools listed. Moroni’s latest statewide ranking was 355th of 563 schools, placing it at the 37th percentile. That is below the statewide midpoint, but it reflects substantial long-term improvement from the 11th percentile in 2015–16 and the 18th percentile in 2020–21.
Moroni’s clearest strength is attendance. Only 0.3% of students were chronically absent in 2024–25, compared with 16.6% in the district and 23.8% statewide. This was dramatically better than nearby Fairview School at 31.1%, Mt. Pleasant School at 26.0%, and Spring City School at 24.1%. Academic results are more uneven. Sixth grade is generally Moroni’s strongest grade, while fourth and fifth grades need the most support. Fifth-grade ELA and math were reported at 20–39%, and fourth-grade ELA was 20–38%. Sixth-grade ELA was 42.9%, math was 35.7%, and science was 52.4%—still below several district or state comparisons, but more competitive than many lower-grade results.
Compared with higher-performing schools such as Ephraim School, Nebo View School, and Manti School, Moroni generally reports lower test performance, but those schools also have lower student-teacher ratios and, in some cases, lower free/reduced-price lunch rates. Moroni’s ranking is similar to Mt. Pleasant School, while results compared with Fountain Green School and Spring City School vary by grade and subject. Overall, the school’s exceptional attendance and improving long-term ranking provide a strong foundation for targeted literacy, math, and science support in fourth and fifth grades.
