Rock Canyon School is an elementary school in Provo, Utah, serving 489 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Provo District, which is ranked 49 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past 10 years, Rock Canyon School has consistently ranked among the top 20% of Utah elementary schools, earning a high ranking of 34 out of 537 schools in the 2014-2015 school year and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rock Canyon School consistently outperforms the Provo District and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 66.6% of 3rd graders at Rock Canyon School were proficient or better in RISE/Mathematics, compared to 51.8% in the Provo District and 48.6% statewide.

While Rock Canyon School has experienced higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, ranging from 23.3% to 28.6%, this is still lower than the rates at some nearby schools. The school's consistent high performance, as evidenced by its strong rankings and 4- or 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger, suggests that it is providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's low student-teacher ratio, which has ranged from 22.2 to 23.4 over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to its academic success.
