Summary:
ZIP code 84738 has one elementary school, Red Mountain School, serving students from Pre-K through fifth grade in Ivins, Utah; the school enrolls 447 students and is part of the Washington District.
Red Mountain School offers a mixed academic picture. Its strongest results in 2025–26 were in third- and fourth-grade English Language Arts, where proficiency was slightly above the Utah average. Mathematics was a larger challenge: average proficiency across grades 3–5 was about 36%, compared with roughly 50% statewide. Fifth grade was the most consistent area of concern, with proficiency of 28.4% in English Language Arts, 27.3% in math, and 32.9% in science. By comparison, fourth-grade results improved substantially from the prior year, especially in math and science. The school’s overall average across the reported subjects and grades was approximately 39.5%, below both district and state averages.
There are also signs of recent progress. The school’s statewide ranking improved from the 18th percentile in 2024–25 to the 31st percentile in 2025–26, and its rating increased from one star to two stars. Within the Washington District, it ranked 42nd of 92 schools, near the district midpoint. Chronic absenteeism was 21.3% in 2024–25—higher than the district’s 15.4% but lower than Utah’s 23.8%—so attendance may be worth monitoring. For families considering the school, the most important questions are how the school is addressing fifth-grade performance, strengthening math instruction, maintaining fourth-grade gains, and reducing absenteeism. Student-teacher staffing was reported at 17.7 students per teacher, and 53.91% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25.
