Maple Ridge is especially strong in mathematics, including 83.3% proficiency in third grade, and also posts consistently high English Language Arts and science results.

Hobble Creek School ranks 142nd statewide and combines above-average achievement with the area’s lowest chronic absenteeism rate, 23.6%, and lowest student-teacher ratio, 21.4. Its fifth-grade results are particularly strong, especially in mathematics and science. Mapleton School ranks 193rd and remains above many district and state comparison results, but its recent ranking decline and 30% chronic absenteeism rate are notable. Mapleton’s primary academic challenge is English Language Arts, especially in fourth and fifth grade, while its mathematics and science results also declined from the prior year. Overall, families seeking the strongest academic record will likely focus on Maple Ridge, while Hobble Creek offers favorable attendance and class-size measures and Mapleton may warrant closer attention to literacy support and attendance.
