How good is Deerfield Elementary?

Deerfield Elementary earns a 7 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, and reporting sources say it has consistently ranked in the top quarter of Utah elementary schools over the past decade, testing above both district and state averages across grade levels. Ratings and test scores move year to year, so treat these as a snapshot and confirm the latest state figures before you rely on them.

Class sizes run about 25 students per teacher, in line with a typical Alpine District elementary. The campus serves Cedar Hills, a compact bench-side city that families often target for its schools and mountain views.

Where Deerfield Elementary feeds

Elementary schools matter for the early years, but families usually want to see the whole path. Under the current Alpine School District pattern, the progression runs:

  • Elementary: Deerfield Elementary, grades K to 6
  • Junior high: Mountain Ridge Junior High, grades 7 to 9
  • High school: Lone Peak High School in Highland, grades 10 to 12

Because the Alpine School District has opened new schools and redrawn lines over the years, treat any pairing as a starting point, not a guarantee, and confirm on a specific address. You can also explore the wider market on our Cedar Hills area page.

The Alpine School District split

Utah County voters approved dividing the large Alpine School District into three smaller districts. Beginning with the 2027 to 2028 school year, Cedar Hills is set to move into the new Aspen Peaks School District, alongside Alpine, American Fork, Highland, and Lehi. School names, boundaries, and feeder assignments could be adjusted through that transition, so verify any assignment with the district before relying on it.
