Summary:
ZIP code 84049 contains one public school, Midway School, an elementary school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in the Midway area. The school enrolls 652 students and is part of the Wasatch District. Since there are no other schools in the ZIP code for comparison, the most useful benchmarks are the school’s history, district averages, and Utah results.
Midway School is a strong academic performer. It ranked in the 97th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, placing it among Utah’s top schools, and has maintained a high ranking over the past three years. Students performed above both district and state averages in every reported subject. In 2025–2026, average proficiency was about 69% in English language arts, 77% in mathematics, and 77% in science. Mathematics was particularly strong, with proficiency above 72% in each tested grade. English language arts results improved from third through fifth grade, while science and math also showed strong fifth-grade outcomes. Compared with the state, Midway’s proficiency rates were higher by roughly 18 to 28 percentage points, depending on the subject and grade.
Recent results also show some year-to-year variation. Mathematics improved overall, especially in fifth grade, while fourth-grade math declined modestly. Science increased sharply in fifth grade but fell somewhat in fourth grade, so families may want to ask about grade-level trends and support. The school reported a 17:1 student-teacher ratio and 15.34% free or reduced-price lunch participation in 2024–2025. The main concern is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 27.5%, compared with 14.5% in the district and 23.8% statewide. Overall, Midway offers strong academic performance and a favorable school ranking, while attendance is the clearest issue to monitor.
