Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 84337

ZIP code 84337 has two public elementary schools serving kindergarten through fifth grade: North Park School and Mckinley School, both part of the Box Elder District, with a combined enrollment of about 1,247 students.

For current academic performance, Mckinley is the stronger and faster-improving school. It ranked 278th of 563 Utah schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 51st percentile and earning three stars, while North Park ranked 324th, in the 42nd percentile, with two stars. Mckinley’s overall average across the reported English language arts, mathematics, and science results was about 49.2%, compared with 46.6% at North Park. Its biggest advantage was mathematics, where it outperformed North Park in all three tested grades, including by more than 10 points in third and fifth grade. Mckinley also made especially large gains from the previous year in both math and science. North Park’s strongest area was fourth grade, including 50.0% proficiency in ELA, 55.0% in math, and an excellent 58.3% in science. However, North Park’s fifth-grade results, particularly its 35.6% math proficiency, were areas of concern.

Attendance is the most important caution for families comparing these schools. Chronic absenteeism was high at both schools but substantially higher at Mckinley: 52.2%, compared with 40.5% at North Park, versus 32.0% across the district and 23.8% statewide. North Park also had a slightly lower student-teacher ratio and higher historical per-student spending, although those resource figures do not necessarily reflect current conditions. In simple terms, Mckinley offers stronger recent academic momentum and higher current achievement, while North Park offers better attendance and several notable fourth-grade results. Families may want to weigh Mckinley’s academic gains against its attendance challenge and consider North Park’s more stable performance alongside its need to strengthen upper-grade outcomes.
