Summary:
ZIP code 84745, serving the La Verkin area of southwestern Utah, has one listed elementary school: LaVerkin School, which serves pre-kindergarten through fifth grade and enrolls 447 students. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 20.8 to 1 and is part of the Washington District. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, parents cannot compare it with another local elementary school using these data.
LaVerkin School showed encouraging improvement in 2025–26, rising from the 15th to the 27th statewide percentile. Mathematics and science results also improved overall from the prior year. Still, the school remained below both district and Utah averages in every reported 2025–26 subject and grade. Mathematics was the largest academic concern, averaging about 34.1% proficient across grades 3–5. Fourth-grade math was especially weak at 30.1%, compared with 54.1% in the district and 50.4% statewide. Fifth-grade math was 28.2%, while fifth-grade English language arts was 35.4%. Science was the school’s strongest subject, averaging about 40.2%, though it also remained below district and state results.
Attendance is another important issue for families to consider. Chronic absenteeism at LaVerkin School was 33.4% in 2024–25, considerably higher than the Washington District rate of 15.4% and Utah’s 23.8%. More consistent attendance could help students receive instruction and support regularly, although these figures do not prove a cause for academic results. Overall, the school appears to be improving but remains below typical district and statewide performance, with the greatest priorities being mathematics, later-grade achievement, and reducing chronic absenteeism.
