Parents will find several encouraging features at Loa School. Chronic absenteeism was just 7.3% in 2024–2025, well below both Wayne District’s 17.7% and Utah’s 23.8%, suggesting that attendance is a clear strength. Academic results were also strong in several areas. Third-grade mathematics was reported at 60–78% proficient, compared with 50.1% statewide, while fifth-grade mathematics was 50–68%, compared with 45.0% statewide. Fourth-grade science was especially notable at 60–78%, above both the district’s 40–58% range and Utah’s 52.6%. Third- and fourth-grade English Language Arts results were also above the state percentages, although some results are reported as ranges rather than exact scores.
The main concerns are concentrated in the upper grades, particularly English Language Arts. Fifth-grade ELA was reported at 20–39%, below Utah’s 45.9%, and sixth-grade ELA was 28.5%, compared with 44.1% statewide. Sixth-grade mathematics was also below the state result, while sixth-grade science was only slightly lower. Overall, Loa ranked 406th of 563 Utah elementary schools in 2025–2026, at the 28th percentile with a one-star rating, down from the 59th percentile in 2012–2013. For families evaluating the school, the key picture is mixed: strong attendance and several solid mathematics and science results, alongside a need for improvement in upper-grade literacy and sixth-grade academic performance.
