Summary

Rock Canyon School is a K–6 elementary school in Provo, Utah, serving about 490 students in the Provo District. The school ranks 84th out of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 85th percentile and earning four stars. Its 21.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio is typical for nearby schools, and 22.24% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Overall, Rock Canyon is a strong school in a particularly competitive part of Provo, although several nearby schools currently rank even higher.

Rock Canyon performs above both district and state averages in every reported grade and subject for 2025–26. Its average proficiency was approximately 59.2% in English language arts, 63.6% in mathematics, and 68.2% in science. Sixth grade stands out, especially in mathematics at 67.9% and science at 73.8%. Fifth-grade mathematics is the clearest improvement opportunity, at 51.5%, a recurring weakness compared with the school’s other grades. Recent momentum is encouraging: mathematics and science averages improved from the prior year, and the statewide ranking rose from 104th to 84th. Rock Canyon is close to Canyon Crest School in mathematics and Wasatch School in science, but Edgemont School, Wasatch, and Canyon Crest currently have higher overall rankings.

Attendance is Rock Canyon’s main non-academic concern. Chronic absenteeism was 24.7% in 2024–25, slightly above the Provo District rate and higher than Wasatch’s 16.9% and Edgemont’s 22.7%. Even so, Rock Canyon compares favorably with Westridge School, Provo Peaks School, and especially Timpanogos School on academic results. Timpanogos ranks 460th statewide, while Rock Canyon’s results are substantially stronger across most tested grades and subjects. For families comparing nearby options, Rock Canyon appears to be a stable, high-performing choice, with its best opportunities being improved attendance and stronger fifth-grade mathematics.
