Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 84532 include four schools serving preschool through 12th grade and approximately 1,436 students in the Grand District, a rural Utah district ranked in the 21st percentile statewide. The schools are concentrated in one large elementary school, one high school, one middle school, and a small preschool. Families should know that attendance and mathematics are the biggest area-wide challenges, while some secondary-grade results and recent ranking trends show encouraging improvement.
Helen M. Knight School is the largest school, with 686 students in grades K–6. Its strongest tested area is sixth-grade science, with 49.6% proficiency, and several math grades improved from the prior year. However, its overall results remain below Utah averages, particularly in mathematics, and its statewide ranking is near the lower quarter. Margaret L. Hopkin Middle School serves grades 7–8 and has the strongest middle-school results in eighth-grade ELA and science. Its eighth-grade science proficiency was 56.0%, compared with 28.3% in seventh grade, but mathematics remains a major weakness. The school has improved substantially in statewide ranking over several years.
Grand County High serves grades 9–12 and currently has the highest statewide percentile among the ranked local schools. It showed the clearest recent improvement, with gains in ELA, mathematics, science, and overall ranking. Tenth-grade ELA was a particular strength at 55.6%, above the Utah result, although mathematics, attendance, graduation, and dropout outcomes remain concerns. Chronic absenteeism ranges from 36.4% to 39.1% at the three schools with available data, well above the 23.8% state rate. Grand Preschool serves 60 students and has no assessment data in the supplied information. Overall, parents may want to compare programs directly while giving special attention to attendance support, math instruction, and the positive improvement trends at the secondary schools.
