English language arts results were more moderate, averaging about 47% across grades. Seventh- and eighth-grade ELA performance exceeded the state average, while sixth grade was close to the state result.

Sixth-grade mathematics was particularly weak at 26%, a result similar to the prior year, while seventh grade was stronger at 43% and eighth grade reached 34%. Families may also want to consider the school’s 37.5% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than both the Sevier District rate of 34.3% and Utah’s rate of 23.8%. The 20.8-to-1 student–teacher ratio and 42.74% free- or reduced-price lunch participation suggest that targeted academic and attendance support could be especially valuable.
