Summary:
The 84701 ZIP code has five schools serving 2,335 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, including elementary, middle, traditional high school, and alternative-school options within Sevier District, which ranks near the middle of Utah districts.
The strongest overall high-school results come from Richfield High, which serves grades 9–12 and has a 93.4% graduation rate, a 6.6% dropout rate, and the area’s clearest recent ranking improvement. Its 10th-grade students outperform state averages in English, math, and science, although 9th-grade results are weaker and attendance remains a concern. Red Hills Middle has also improved in the rankings and stands out for science, with strong results in grades 6–8. Its main challenges are mathematics—especially 6th grade—and chronic absenteeism. At the elementary level, Pahvant School, serving grades 3–5, has the strongest academic profile in mathematics, with all tested grades exceeding state results. Its 4th-grade English performance is notably weaker than its 3rd- and 5th-grade results.
Attendance is the broadest concern across the area. Chronic absenteeism is above the Utah rate at every school, ranging from 27.2% at Richfield High to 70.8% at Cedar Ridge High. Cedar Ridge is a small alternative school serving grades 6–12, with 57 students, a 75% graduation rate, and a 25% dropout rate; its small size and specialized setting should be considered when comparing results. Ashman School serves kindergarten through 2nd grade and has limited school-level academic data, but its absenteeism is elevated. Overall, families may want to weigh strong subject-specific results against attendance needs and the different roles each school serves.
