Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 84005 include nine schools serving students through sixth grade, with about 7,856 students across eight Alpine District schools and Ranches Academy, and performance ranging from well above to well below the Utah average.
Ranches Academy is the strongest overall performer, ranking 111th of 563 Utah elementary schools and averaging about 62.1% proficiency across reported tests. It led the area in sixth-grade science, at 88.3%, and had the lowest student-teacher ratio, 20.0. Among Alpine District schools, Black Ridge School stands out, ranking 147th with about 57.5% average proficiency and especially strong science and mathematics results. Silver Lake Elementary made the largest recent ranking improvement, moving from the 52nd to the 70th percentile. Hidden Hollow School also performed consistently well, although its absenteeism rate was relatively high.
Results are more mixed at the remaining schools. Desert Sky, the largest school with 1,096 students, ranked near the middle locally, while Brookhaven School and Pony Express School ranked lower and have experienced declining percentiles. Pony Express nevertheless had strong sixth-grade science performance. Eagle Valley School and Mountain Trails School require the closest attention: both had low average proficiency and high chronic absenteeism, with Mountain Trails ranking last locally at the 20th percentile. Overall, sixth-grade science is a local strength, while mathematics—particularly in fourth through sixth grade—is a common area for improvement.
