Summary:
ZIP code 84045 has one listed middle school, Lake Mountain Middle, serving grades 7–9 in Saratoga Springs. The school enrolls 1,471 students and is part of Alpine District. Because there is only one middle school in the ZIP code, families are best served by reviewing its performance against district and Utah averages rather than comparing nearby schools directly.
Lake Mountain Middle has a strong overall academic profile. It ranked in the 75th percentile statewide for 2025–2026 and received four stars, improving from three stars the previous year. Its average proficiency across the reported grade and subject assessments was about 55%, compared with approximately 51% in the district and 45% statewide. Mathematics is the clearest strength: grade 7 proficiency was 63.5%, and grade 9 proficiency was 57.5%, both well above district and state results. Science is also performing well, particularly in grade 9, where 62% of students were proficient. The school exceeded statewide results in eight of the nine listed comparisons and was slightly below the state only in grade 8 science.
For parents, grade 8 is the main area to watch. Its overall proficiency averaged about 48%, with comparatively weaker results in English Language Arts and science, while mathematics remained above both district and state levels. Science showed encouraging year-over-year improvement in all three grades, but mathematics declined in grades 8 and 9 and may merit continued attention. The school reports a 26:1 student-teacher ratio, which may indicate relatively large instructional groupings. It also reports 14.41% free- or reduced-price lunch participation and an exceptionally low 0.1% chronic absenteeism rate; because the attendance figure is far below district and state rates, families may want to confirm how it was calculated. Overall, the school appears to be a comparatively strong option, especially in mathematics and science.
