Summary:
The 84058 area has eight elementary schools serving grades K–6 or PK–6, including seven general elementary schools and the specialized Blind South; enrollment ranges from 10 students at Blind South to 1,052 at Trailside Elementary. Most schools are connected with the Alpine District, and the area offers a wide range of school sizes, academic results, attendance rates, and student-teacher ratios.
Orem School is the strongest overall academic performer, ranking in the 78th state percentile and earning four stars. It leads the area in combined English language arts, mathematics, and science results. Freedom Preparatory Academy–Vineyard ranks second locally and has shown the greatest improvement, rising 124 places over two years; its mathematics results are particularly strong. Noah Webster Academy offers balanced academic results and performs well in mathematics and science, while Trailside Elementary has improved steadily despite being the largest school. Vineyard School performs best in earlier grades and science but has weaker upper-grade mathematics results.
Parents comparing schools should look closely at both achievement and attendance. Cherry Hill School and Westmore School have the lowest rankings and weakest assessment averages, while both also report elevated chronic absenteeism. Noah Webster also has a notably high absenteeism rate despite stronger test results. Mathematics is a recurring challenge in grades 5 and 6 at several schools, whereas science is generally the strongest subject. Blind South serves a highly specialized population and should be evaluated separately rather than compared directly with the larger elementary schools.
