Summary
Red Mountain School is a PK–5 elementary school in Ivins, Utah, serving 447 students in the Washington District. Ivins is part of the St. George area, and the district ranks 42nd of 92 Utah districts, at the 54th percentile statewide. Red Mountain’s latest statewide ranking is 390th of 563 schools, or the 31st percentile, earning two stars. That is a notable improvement from the 18th percentile the previous year, although the school remains below the statewide midpoint and ranks approximately seventh among ten nearby traditional elementary schools with current results.
The school’s strongest recent academic results are in third- and fourth-grade English language arts, where 50.8% and 47.4% of students were proficient. Mathematics remains a consistent challenge: proficiency was 34.5% in third grade, 45.3% in fourth grade, and 27.3% in fifth grade, below both district and state comparisons at every grade. Fifth grade is the clearest concern across subjects, with 28.4% proficient in ELA, 27.3% in math, and 32.9% in science. By comparison, nearby Diamond Valley School ranked at the 79th percentile, while Heritage School ranked at the 58th percentile and Santa Clara School at the 55th percentile.
Red Mountain has some operational strengths that could support continued improvement. Its 17.7:1 student-teacher ratio was the lowest among the nearby traditional schools compared, and chronic absenteeism declined from 40.1% in 2021–22 to 21.3% in 2024–25—better than most nearby schools and the statewide rate of 23.8%, though above the district’s 15.4%. The school’s low socioeconomic status subgroup ranked at the 68th percentile statewide, suggesting that some support practices are working well for that group. Overall, the data point to genuine recovery, but progress is still fragile. Key priorities are strengthening math in grades 3–5, investigating the sharp fifth-grade drop across all subjects, maintaining attendance gains, and applying successful support strategies more broadly.
