Summary:
ZIP code 84513 has one public elementary school, Castle Dale School, serving kindergarten through fifth grade in the small community of Castle Dale, Utah, with 127 students in the Emery District.
Castle Dale School shows its strongest academic performance in fourth grade. In 2025–2026, fourth-grade results were reported at 50–68% in English language arts, 70–88% in math, and 60–78% in science. Even the lower end of each range was higher than both district and state results, making fourth-grade math and science especially notable strengths. Fifth-grade math also exceeded the state result, although the school’s range overlapped the district’s. Results in third-grade English and math, fifth-grade English, and fifth-grade science were less conclusive because the reported ranges overlapped district or state figures. Since the school is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, families cannot compare it with another nearby school in the same ZIP code.
Attendance is the most important concern in the available data. Chronic absenteeism affected 33.8% of students in 2024–2025, slightly below the district’s 34.7% but well above Utah’s 23.8%. About 51.97% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that many families may face economic challenges that can affect consistent school attendance and access to learning support. The student-teacher ratio was 18.1 to 1, which suggests a moderate staffing environment, though it does not equal average class size. Older ranking information was mixed, ranging from the 29th to 46th percentile between 2010–2011 and 2012–2013, but those results are too dated to describe the school’s current performance. Overall, the school combines strong fourth-grade achievement with attendance challenges and uneven results across other grades.
