Summary:
Zip code 82937 has one listed elementary school, Urie Elementary, serving 242 students in kindergarten through grade 4. Its available test results cover grades 3 and 4, with science results for grade 4, so families can see some differences by grade and subject but not compare schools within the area. The most important finding is that grade 4 results fell sharply: both ELA and math moved from well above the state averages in 2024–2025 to below them in 2025–2026.
Urie Elementary’s clearest current strength is grade 3 math, where 67.3% of students were proficient, 6.1 percentage points above the state’s 61.2%. Its weakest result is grade 4 ELA: 45.7%, compared with 52.6% statewide, a 6.9-point gap. Grade 4 math was also below the state, at 54.4% versus 62.6%, an 8.2-point shortfall; grade 4 science was 52.2%, 4.0 points below the state. There is no second local school to rank against it, and results within the school vary: grade 3 math was 16.4 points higher than grade 3 ELA.
The recent trend is a concern, especially in grade 4. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Urie’s grade 4 ELA score dropped 17.7 points, from 63.4% to 45.7%, and grade 4 math fell 16.3 points, from 70.7% to 54.4%; meanwhile, grade 3 math improved 4.5 points, to 67.3%. Across the five listed results, Urie’s simple average fell from 59.9% to 54.1%, while the state average rose from 55.1% to 57.7%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also declined from 63rd of 149 schools with 3 stars in 2024–2025 to 100th of 148 with 2 stars in 2025–2026. For context, the school reported a 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio of 11.1 and 30.2% free/reduced-lunch eligibility; these figures describe the school but do not establish what explains its results. Because only one school is listed, the data cannot show how it compares with other nearby schools.
