Summary:
ZIP code 84319, which includes Hyrum, Utah, has two elementary schools: Canyon School and Lincoln School. Both serve students through sixth grade and are part of the Cache District, which ranks 16th among Utah’s 92 districts and receives a four-star rating. Overall, both schools perform above the statewide average in many subjects, although they generally trail the district’s strong results.
Lincoln School is the stronger overall performer in the latest data, ranking 217th out of 563 Utah schools, compared with 237th for Canyon School. Lincoln’s average across reported test results is 52.6%, slightly ahead of Canyon’s 51.2%. Lincoln’s clearest advantage is in fourth grade, where it leads Canyon in English language arts, mathematics, and science. It also has a lower student-teacher ratio—20.0 compared with Canyon’s 24.2—which may be important to families considering classroom size and staffing. However, Lincoln has higher chronic absenteeism, at 27.1%, and weaker results in some areas, including fifth-grade mathematics and science and sixth-grade English language arts.
Canyon School is considerably larger, enrolling 789 students compared with Lincoln’s 492, and offers prekindergarten through sixth grade rather than kindergarten through sixth grade. Canyon has lower chronic absenteeism at 21.5%, below the Utah rate of 23.8%, and performs especially well in third- and fifth-grade mathematics and fifth- and sixth-grade science. Its statewide ranking has also improved steadily over the past three years. Both schools share an important improvement area: sixth-grade English language arts, where each trails district and state benchmarks. Families may view Lincoln as the better current academic choice overall, while Canyon offers lower absenteeism, broader grade coverage, and several strong upper-elementary subject results.
