Summary

Manti School is a public elementary school serving 408 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in the small central Utah community of Manti as part of the South Sanpete District. The school ranks 253rd of 563 Utah elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 55th percentile with three stars. This is an improvement from the 45th percentile the previous year, although it remains below the school’s much stronger 2015–2019 results.

Academic results are mixed by grade. Fourth grade is the clearest strength: students performed above the state in English language arts and math, and 65.2% were proficient in science, compared with 52.6% statewide. Fifth grade is the main area of concern, with results below the district and state in ELA, math, and science. Third-grade math was above the state result, while third-grade ELA was below it. Nearby Ephraim School ranks higher overall at the 77th percentile and generally has stronger test results. Gunnison Valley School is a closer comparison at the 60th percentile, with stronger fifth-grade math and lower absenteeism.

Attendance is an important consideration. Chronic absenteeism fell substantially, from 45.9% in 2021–2022 to 29.6% in 2024–2025, but it remains above both the district and state rates and higher than at the nearby comparison schools. Manti’s student-teacher ratio of 18.9:1 is more favorable than those at Gunnison Valley School and Ephraim School. Overall, the school shows encouraging recent momentum, especially in fourth grade, but continued attendance work and stronger, more consistent fifth-grade performance will be important to sustaining improvement.
