How good is Midvalley Elementary?

Midvalley Elementary earns a 6 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, around the average for Utah public elementary schools. GreatSchools does not publish a full proficiency breakdown on its public profile, so treat the rating as a starting point rather than the whole picture. The school runs a lighter than average student to teacher ratio near 17 to 1, and it recently exited targeted support status across its student subgroups, a sign of academic progress.

The standout feature is the Spanish dual language immersion program in grades 1 through 5, where students learn part of the day in Spanish and graduate on a path toward being bilingual and biliterate. Midvalley is a recently rebuilt, larger campus and is one of more than 30 elementary schools in the Canyons School District. A tour will always tell you more than any single score.
