Summary:
ZIP code 84501 has two elementary schools in the Carbon District: Creekview School, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, and Castle Heights School, serving kindergarten through fifth grade. Together, they enroll 758 students, with similar free- and reduced-price lunch participation, so families are comparing schools with broadly similar student populations.
Castle Heights School is the stronger overall performer in the available data. It ranked in the 60th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, compared with the 42nd percentile for Creekview School. Castle Heights also had higher average results in mathematics and science, lower chronic absenteeism—20.2% compared with 28.3%—and a lower student-teacher ratio of 18.9 versus 20.4. Its strongest results included third- and fourth-grade mathematics and fourth- and fifth-grade science. The school’s fifth-grade science proficiency was 64%, well above the statewide comparison. However, its ranking declined from the 70th percentile the prior year, so that trend is worth monitoring.
Creekview School has a clear strength in English Language Arts. Its average 2025–2026 ELA proficiency was 53.1%, compared with 47.1% at Castle Heights, and its fifth-grade ELA result was especially strong at 61.8%. Creekview’s main challenge is mathematics, where its average was 37.5%, compared with 51.4% at Castle Heights; science results were also lower. Both schools reported only 32.8% proficiency in fifth-grade mathematics, making this the clearest shared concern. Parents may view Castle Heights as the stronger choice for overall performance, math, and science, while Creekview may appeal to families placing particular value on its ELA performance.
