Summary

Mt. Pleasant School is a public elementary school in Mt. Pleasant, Utah, serving 559 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade in the North Sanpete area. It is the largest elementary school in the nearby North Sanpete District and ranks in the 37th percentile among Utah elementary schools for 2025–2026. The school performs somewhat better than its district’s overall statewide standing, but remains below the state midpoint.

Academic results are uneven rather than uniformly low. Science is the clearest strength: sixth-grade proficiency was 65.0%, above the state’s 58.2%, and the school’s average science performance across tested grades was slightly above the district and state averages. Fifth-grade mathematics was also a bright spot at 48.6%, exceeding both comparison benchmarks. The largest concern is third grade, where proficiency was 31.4% in English language arts and 25.3% in mathematics—well below district and state results. Sixth-grade performance also varies sharply by subject, with strong science results but 37.7% proficiency in both English language arts and mathematics. The low-SES subgroup ranked in the 93rd statewide percentile, suggesting notable effectiveness in serving students facing economic disadvantages.

Attendance and class size are important considerations. Chronic absenteeism improved from 33.5% in 2023–2024 to 26.0% in 2024–2025, but remained higher than both the district’s 16.6% and the state’s 23.8%. With 23.7 students per teacher, the school has a higher ratio than nearby Fairview School, Spring City School, Fountain Green School, and similarly sized Ephraim School. Ephraim is a notably stronger nearby academic benchmark and belongs to the higher-ranked South Sanpete District. Overall, Mt. Pleasant offers specific strengths but would benefit from focused support in third-grade literacy and mathematics, attendance, and individualized instruction.
