Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 84029 are located in Grantsville and serve students from prekindergarten or kindergarten through sixth grade. The three schools—Grantsville School, Twenty Wells Elementary, and Willow School—enroll about 1,745 students and are part of the Tooele District. Overall, local schools perform below Utah averages, with mathematics the biggest area of concern, although the schools differ considerably in academic results and recent progress.
Twenty Wells Elementary is the clear academic leader. It ranks 345th out of 563 Utah schools, is in the 39th percentile, and has a two-star rating, compared with one star for the other two schools. It leads in average English, mathematics, and science proficiency and has improved substantially in recent years. Its strongest results include 55.6% proficiency in fourth-grade mathematics, 55.6% in sixth-grade science, and 50.7% in third-grade mathematics. However, it also has the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 28.6%, so improving attendance could help sustain its momentum.
Grantsville School has the largest enrollment, at 695 students, and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate, at 22.2%, below both the district and state rates. Its academic performance is mixed, with modest mathematics improvement but declining science results; fourth-grade mathematics is its strongest relative subject area. Willow School is smaller, has the lowest student-teacher ratio, and reports the lowest free/reduced-lunch share, but ranks last locally at the 17th percentile. Its mathematics performance is especially weak, including 18.2% proficiency in third grade. For families comparing schools, Twenty Wells currently offers the strongest academic profile, Grantsville stands out for attendance, and Willow’s results suggest a need for focused academic support despite favorable staffing indicators.
