Summary:
ZIP code 84513 has two public schools serving elementary through high school students: Castle Dale School serves grades K–5, while Emery High serves grades 9–12. Together, they enroll 741 students and are part of Emery District, which ranks near the middle of Utah districts. The schools serve different age groups, so their test results should not be compared as if they measured the same students.
Emery High has 614 students and shows a mixed performance profile. Its 90.4% graduation rate is slightly above both the district’s 89.2% and Utah’s 89.8%. Chronic absenteeism is 26.2%, better than the district’s 34.7% but still above the state rate of 23.8%. Ninth-grade mathematics was a notable strength, with 44.1% of students proficient compared with 40.8% districtwide and 39.4% statewide. However, most other recent test results were below state averages, especially tenth-grade mathematics at 20.5%. Tenth-grade results declined sharply from the prior year in English, math, and science, making that grade an important area to monitor.
Castle Dale School is much smaller, with 127 students, and has higher reported economic-need and absenteeism indicators than Emery High. Its chronic absenteeism rate is 33.8%, close to the district rate and well above the state rate. Academically, fourth grade is the clearest bright spot: reported proficiency ranges were 50–68% in English, 70–88% in math, and 60–78% in science, with each range above both district and state results. Results in third and fifth grades overlap comparison results, so they cannot be ranked precisely. For families, the main takeaways are strong fourth-grade performance, attention to attendance at both schools, and continued monitoring of high-school tenth-grade achievement.
