Gateway Preparatory Academy is the sole elementary school located in Enoch, Utah, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 687 students. The school's performance data suggests it is struggling academically, with test scores significantly below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 50% of its population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Specifically, Gateway Preparatory Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking of 415 out of 561 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

Science proficiency rates are also below the state averages, ranging from 28% to 49%.
Additionally, the school's spending per student of $6,866 is below the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 21.5 to 1 is slightly higher than the recommended ratio for elementary schools. These factors, combined with the school's consistently low rankings and underperforming test scores, suggest that Gateway Preparatory Academy may need to implement significant improvements and interventions to better support its students and improve educational outcomes.
