The school ranks 259th of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 54th percentile with a three-star rating. This is a decline from the 75th percentile in 2024–25, but it remains a substantial improvement over the school’s lower rankings earlier in the decade.

Academic results are generally near or above Utah averages, although they trail the district’s unusually strong performance. Mathematics is the clearest strength: Heber Valley exceeded the state average in third, fourth, and fifth grades, with fourth grade strongest at 60.3% proficient. English language arts was above the state average in third and fourth grades but slightly below it in fifth grade. Science needs the most attention, especially fourth grade, where 41.1% of students were proficient. Fifth grade is a recurring pressure point, with the school’s lowest or near-lowest results across major subjects. Still, several areas improved since 2023–24, particularly fourth-grade ELA and mathematics.

Compared with nearby schools, Heber Valley trails high-performing Old Mill School and Midway School, which ranked in the 98th and 97th percentiles, respectively. It is closer to Daniels Canyon School and J.R. Smith School, with results varying by grade and subject. Attendance is a significant concern: chronic absenteeism was 31.2% in 2024–25, well above the district’s 14.5%. On the positive side, the student-teacher ratio improved to 15.9 to 1. Continued attendance gains, stronger science instruction, and focused support for fifth grade are important priorities.
