Best Public Schools in Zip Code 84078

Summary:

The 84078 zip code area in Utah is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Uintah District. While the district is ranked 45 out of 98 in Utah and has a 3-star rating, the schools within the area show a range of performance levels.

Among the standout schools are Maeser School, an elementary school that ranks 103 out of 561 Utah elementary schools and earns a 4-star rating, with strong test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Discovery School, another high-performing elementary school, ranks 186 out of 561 and has 3-star rating with high proficiency rates across grades 3-5. At the high school level, Uintah High stands out, ranking 44 out of 138 Utah high schools and earning a 3-star rating with solid test scores.

However, not all schools in the area perform at the same level. Some, like Ashley School and Naples School, struggle with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages. The data also reveals significant variations in per-student spending, from $2,766 at Uintah Online School to $10,118 at Uintah High, raising questions about the relationship between funding and student outcomes in this district.
