Summary:
ZIP code 84642, which includes the Manti area, has three schools serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12: Manti High, Manti School, and the small South Sanpete Education Support Center. Together they enroll about 1,110 students and are part of the South Sanpete District, which ranks 34th among Utah’s 92 districts.
Manti High is the strongest overall school in the area based on the available data. It has a 94% graduation rate, a 4.2% dropout rate, and 14.8% chronic absenteeism, all better than the corresponding state rates. Its ranking also improved substantially, reaching the 72nd percentile and a four-star rating in 2025–2026. Science is its clearest academic strength, while ninth-grade math is strong. Tenth-grade math, along with a recent decline in tenth-grade English language arts, are the main areas needing attention. The school serves grades 9–12 and enrolls about 690 students.
Manti School serves prekindergarten through grade 5 and enrolls about 408 students. Its ranking has improved to the 55th percentile and three stars, with particularly good fourth-grade results: science proficiency reached 65.2%, and math and English language arts were also above state averages. Fifth grade results were weaker across subjects, and chronic absenteeism was 29.6%, higher than both the district and state. The Education Support Center serves only 12 students in a specialized K–12 setting, with a very low 2.7 student-teacher ratio; it does not have comparable testing or graduation data. Overall, families will find the strongest secondary outcomes at Manti High, encouraging recent elementary improvement at Manti School, and a specialized option through the support center.
