Summary

Heber Valley School is an elementary school located in Heber City, Utah, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 555 students. While the school is part of the Wasatch District, which is ranked 20 out of 93 districts in Utah and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, Heber Valley School itself faces several challenges.

One of the most significant issues is the school's consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 44.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the other nearby schools in the Wasatch District, such as Daniels Canyon School, Old Mill School, and Midway School. Additionally, Heber Valley School's test scores in RISE assessments for Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts have been consistently lower than the Wasatch District and state averages.

Another factor that sets Heber Valley School apart is its relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 31.87% to 49.33% over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby schools mentioned above. The school's student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.3 to 19.5, is also higher than its peers. These factors may be contributing to the school's declining statewide ranking, which has dropped from 354 out of 537 Utah elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 137 out of 547 in 2024-2025, suggesting that the school is not keeping pace with the performance of other elementary schools in the state.
