ZIP code 84770 in Saint George, Utah, has one middle school: Dixie Intermediate, serving grades 6–7. The school enrolls 653 students and is part of Washington District. It has a 22.3:1 student–teacher ratio, a 3-star district rating, and a reported school rating of 2 stars in the available ranking history. Since there is only one middle school in the ZIP code, families cannot compare nearby schools within the area based on this dataset.
Academic results at Dixie Intermediate are mixed, with sixth-grade science standing out as the strongest area. Sixty percent of sixth graders were proficient in science, slightly above Utah’s statewide result of 58.2%, although below the district’s 65.9%. Mathematics is the main academic concern, especially in seventh grade: only 36.0% of students were proficient, compared with 54.6% in the district and 46.2% statewide. Seventh-grade science also deserves attention, falling to 42.1% after sixth-grade science reached 60.4%. English language arts results were below district and state levels in both grades, with seventh grade showing a particularly large gap from the district.
Attendance may be an important consideration for families. Chronic absenteeism was 24.4%, higher than the district’s 15.4% and slightly above Utah’s 23.8%. The school’s reported ranking nevertheless improved from 147th of 216 schools in 2022–2023 to 129th of 217 in 2025–2026, suggesting gradual progress. Overall, the most important questions for parents involve the school’s plans to improve seventh-grade math and science, strengthen ELA, and reduce missed instructional time. Sixth-grade science provides a promising example of stronger performance, while the large decline in seventh-grade science indicates that the transition to more advanced coursework may warrant close attention.
