Summary:
ZIP code 84642 has one elementary school, Manti School, serving Pre-K through 5th grade in Manti, Utah, with 408 students in the South Sanpete District. As the only elementary option listed in the ZIP code, it serves as the primary local school for families in the area. The school has an 18.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and 52.21% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025.
The school’s overall direction is encouraging. Its ranking improved from 318th of 561 schools in 2023–2024 to 253rd of 563 in 2025–2026, moving from the 43rd to the 55th percentile and increasing from two stars to three. Recent academic results are mixed but generally stronger than Utah averages in mathematics and science. Average proficiency was about 51.5% in math and 57.6% in science, compared with roughly 48.5% and 52.4% statewide. Fourth grade was the standout, with 53.0% proficiency in English language arts, 56.1% in math, and 65.2% in science. Fourth-grade math and science also improved sharply from the prior year. However, the school remained below district averages in every math grade and most reported subjects.
Fifth grade is the clearest area needing attention. Proficiency was 41.1% in English language arts, 43.7% in math, and 50.0% in science, with science declining 15.5 percentage points from the previous year. Third-grade English language arts and math also warrant support, especially after a 5.4-point drop in third-grade math. Attendance is another important concern: chronic absenteeism was 29.6%, higher than both the district’s 21.9% and Utah’s 23.8%. Parents may reasonably view Manti School as a school making progress, particularly in fourth grade, while watching for continued efforts to improve attendance and make achievement more consistent across grades.
