Summary:
ZIP code 84021 has one elementary school, Duchesne School, serving students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade in the Duchesne District. The school enrolls 419 students and has a student-teacher ratio of 18.6 to 1, so families comparing elementary options in this ZIP code are primarily evaluating one local school rather than choosing among several campuses.
Duchesne School has a mixed academic profile, with its strongest results generally appearing in the upper grades. In 2025–2026, sixth-grade science proficiency was 60.4%, above the statewide rate of 58.2%, and sixth-grade mathematics reached 37.5%, nearly identical to the state rate and well above the district’s 27.5%. Fifth- and sixth-grade English Language Arts also exceeded both district and state results. Fourth-grade mathematics, reported as a range of 50% to 68%, was above the district even at its lower bound, although ranges make exact comparisons difficult. The main academic concern is third-grade mathematics, at 36.2%, below both the district and state, along with third-grade ELA, which was 10.4 percentage points below the state.
Recent results suggest improvement in several areas, especially sixth-grade science, which rose 20 percentage points from the previous year, and sixth-grade mathematics, which increased 16.3 points. The school’s ranking also improved from the 29th percentile and one star in 2024–2025 to the 40th percentile and two stars in 2025–2026, though it remains below its 2023–2024 standing. Parents should pay close attention to attendance: chronic absenteeism was 43.0%, considerably higher than the district’s 31.0% and the state’s 23.8%. About 51% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, providing important economic context. Overall, the school shows encouraging upper-grade performance and recent gains, but attendance and early-grade mathematics remain important areas for improvement.
