Summary:
ZIP code 84047 has four public elementary schools serving kindergarten through fifth grade: Midvale School, Midvalley School, East Midvale School, and Copperview School. Together, they enroll about 2,106 students in the Canyons District, which ranks 36th among Utah’s 92 districts. The schools vary considerably in enrollment, attendance, student needs, and academic results.
Midvalley School is the clear local leader. It has the highest statewide ranking, the strongest results in English language arts, math, and science, the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 29.4%, and the best recent improvement, especially in math. Even so, its achievement remains below district and state averages, and its absenteeism rate is still higher than both. East Midvale School ranks second locally and improved in both math and science, with particularly stronger fifth-grade results, but it has the highest absenteeism rate at 42.6%. Its free- and reduced-price lunch participation is also the highest among the four schools, an important factor to consider when comparing school populations and support needs.
Midvale School and Copperview School have the weakest academic outcomes. Midvale School recently declined in statewide rank and in average math and science proficiency. Copperview School is the smallest school and has the lowest student–teacher ratio, as well as the highest historical spending per student, but it records the lowest overall proficiency; its fourth-grade science result is reported only as under 10%. Across the area, chronic absenteeism is the most consistent concern: all four schools exceed district and state rates. Parents comparing these schools may wish to focus on attendance supports, academic interventions, and whether each school’s recent improvement is continuing.
