Summary

Ephraim School is a PK–5 elementary school in Ephraim, Utah, serving 535 students in the South Sanpete District. It is one of the larger elementary schools in the local area and offers a strong overall academic profile, with a 2025–2026 ranking of 131st out of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 77th percentile and earning four stars.

For parents comparing nearby schools, Ephraim School currently ranks ahead of Gunnison Valley School, Manti School, Moroni School, and Mt. Pleasant School. Its 2025–2026 proficiency averages were 53.9% in English language arts, 60.8% in mathematics, and 66.2% in science—above both district and state averages in each subject. Mathematics and science are particular strengths, including 72.3% proficiency in third-grade math and 68.9% in fourth-grade science. Results were generally stronger than those at Gunnison Valley and Manti, although fifth-grade math was a notable exception and remains an area to watch.

One of the school’s most distinctive strengths is its performance with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds: it ranked 8th out of 139 Utah schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 94th percentile. Approximately 55.5% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, making this an important measure of the school’s effectiveness. The school’s statewide ranking also improved substantially from the mid-60th percentile in the previous two years. Attendance is the main concern: chronic absenteeism declined to 27.3% in 2024–2025 but remained above district and state rates. Overall, the school combines strong academics, improving performance, and notable support for economically disadvantaged students, while fifth-grade achievement and attendance deserve continued attention.
