Summary:

Schools serving ZIP code 84770 in St. George include 13 schools offering programs from kindergarten through 12th grade, along with online, alternative, and post-high-school options. Most are part of Washington District, while Utah Arts Academy and Success DSU operate through separate organizations. The area includes five elementary schools, one middle school, five high schools, and two alternative schools, serving about 10,900 students. Online enrollment is especially large, with Utah Online K8 and Utah Online 7-12 accounting for roughly 39% of all listed students.

Success DSU is the strongest overall performer, ranking sixth among Utah high schools, earning a five-star rating, and reporting a 98% graduation rate. Its 10th-grade proficiency was especially strong in mathematics, at 67.4%, compared with 29.4% statewide. Among elementary schools, Diamond Valley School stands out, ranking in the 79th percentile and exceeding state results in all nine reported elementary assessments. Its fourth-grade science proficiency reached 75.1%. By comparison, Legacy School, Sunset School, and Paradise Canyon rank in the lower third of Utah elementary schools, with particularly weak fourth-grade reading, math, and science results.

High-school choices vary considerably. Dixie High has a 93.3% graduation rate and a low 3.7% dropout rate, while Snow Canyon High has a 91.2% graduation rate but a lower academic ranking. Utah Arts Academy shows a mixed profile, with above-state 10th-grade ELA performance but only 10.7% mathematics proficiency and very high chronic absenteeism. Attendance is a broader concern: most schools with available figures exceed both the district’s 15.4% rate and the state’s 23.8% rate. Online schools report very high graduation rates, but their unusual enrollment and staffing models make direct comparisons with conventional schools less reliable.
