Summary
Coral Canyon School is an elementary school located in Washington, Utah, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 518 students. While the school is part of the Washington District, which is ranked 37 out of 93 districts in Utah, Coral Canyon School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Coral Canyon School's academic performance is a significant concern, as the school consistently underperforms compared to the Washington District and state averages on RISE assessments in mathematics, science, and English language arts across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, only 27.3% of 3rd graders, 26.2% of 4th graders, and 38.2% of 5th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the district averages of 49.8%, 49.5%, and 46.6%, respectively. Additionally, Coral Canyon School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.2% to 32.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.
While Coral Canyon School serves a higher proportion of low-socioeconomic status students compared to other schools in the district, the school is doing better than expected in supporting this subgroup, as indicated by its 3-star rating for low-socioeconomic status students. However, the school's higher spending per student ($8,211 in 2018-2019) does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, which raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and instructional practices. Nearby high-performing schools, such as Crimson View School and Horizon School, which are both ranked in the top 20% of Utah elementary schools, provide a stark contrast to Coral Canyon School's performance.
