Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 84701 include two Sevier District schools serving complementary grade levels: Ashman School serves kindergarten through grade 2, while Pahvant School serves grades 3–5. Together, they enroll 986 students in the local elementary system. Both schools are part of the Sevier District, which ranks 40th out of 92 Utah districts, at the 57th percentile with a three-star rating. Because the schools serve different age groups, their academic results should not be treated as a direct school-to-school comparison.
Pahvant School has the clearest evidence of academic performance in the available data. Mathematics is its strongest subject, with proficiency above the Utah average in grades 3, 4, and 5; the overall math average was about 57.6%. Grade 3 and grade 5 ELA results also exceeded the state average, while grade 4 ELA was a notable weakness at 36.7% proficient. Science results were mixed and slightly below the state average overall. Math improved in every tested grade from the prior year, which is an encouraging trend. However, Pahvant’s statewide ranking declined from the 71st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 59th percentile in 2025–2026.
Ashman School has a lower student-teacher ratio than Pahvant—20.7 students per teacher compared with 24.1—and its reported historical per-student spending was higher, though that spending information is from 2018–2019 and may not reflect current conditions. School-level test scores and ranking history were not provided for Ashman, so its academic performance cannot be evaluated from this data. The most important shared concern is chronic absenteeism: 38.9% at Ashman and 41.7% at Pahvant, both well above the district and state rates. Attendance support should therefore be a priority across the area, along with targeted attention to grade 4 outcomes at Pahvant.
