Best Public Schools in Zip Code 84074

ZIP code 84074 includes 19 schools serving elementary, middle, high-school, and alternative students in the Tooele area, with about 14,609 students across traditional district, charter, and special-purpose programs. Most schools are part of Tooele District, which ranks in the lower portion of Utah districts, although individual school results vary considerably. Among elementary schools, Stansbury Park School is the clearest standout, ranking in the 61st percentile and posting strong ELA, math, and science results. Excelsior Academy, Middle Canyon School, and Rose Springs School also show notable strengths, particularly in mathematics and science.

Middle- and high-school performance is more mixed. Clarke N. Johnsen Junior High has a much lower chronic absenteeism rate than Tooele Junior High, although both have uneven academic results by grade. Of the traditional high schools, Stansbury High has the stronger overall profile, with higher graduation, lower dropout, and lower absenteeism rates than Tooele High. Mathematics is the most common academic weakness across the area, especially in middle and high school, while science is a relative strength at several of the higher-ranked elementary schools.

Attendance is one of the most important differences among these schools. Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at Clarke N. Johnsen but very high at Tooele Junior High, Tooele High, and several elementary schools. Alternative programs should be considered separately: Blue Peak High reports relatively strong graduation and dropout outcomes despite very high absenteeism, while Digital Education Center has low absenteeism but much weaker graduation results. Parents should compare individual schools rather than rely on the ZIP-code average, and should treat test results reported as ranges or upper bounds as estimates rather than exact percentages.
