Summary

Santa Clara School is a public elementary school in Santa Clara, Utah, serving about 450 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade. Located in the Washington District, the school has a typical local student-teacher ratio of 20.0 and ranks in the 55th percentile statewide, with a three-star rating. Its overall position is solid for the area: it ranks ahead of most nearby traditional elementary schools, although it trails Bloomington School and is just below Heritage School.

The school has made meaningful long-term academic gains, rising from the mid-30th percentile in 2018–19 and 2020–21 to a peak of the 69th percentile in 2023–24. Its ranking then softened to the 52nd percentile in 2024–25 before recovering slightly to 55th percentile in 2025–26. Fourth grade is the clearest academic strength: ELA and science proficiency were each 60.0%, while math proficiency was 54.1%, meeting or exceeding district and state results. Science is a broader strength, with fifth-grade proficiency at 57.5%. The biggest concern is fifth-grade math, where proficiency fell to 29.9%, well below both district and state levels. Parents may want to ask how the school is supporting math achievement and the transition to middle school.

Santa Clara School also compares favorably on attendance. Chronic absenteeism was 19.6% in 2024–25, below the statewide rate and lower than nearly all nearby schools, including Arrowhead School, Panorama School, and Sandstone School. However, it remained above the district average. Overall, Santa Clara appears more consistent and stronger than many local alternatives, while Bloomington School is the clearest academic leader. The main priorities are sustaining earlier gains, improving fifth-grade math, and continuing to reduce absenteeism.
