Understanding the 7/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Iron School District 7 out of 10 — above average among Utah public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Utah’s RISE and Utah Aspire Plus assessments (2024–25 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Utah is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Iron School District earns an above-average rating, with reading and math proficiency rates stronger than most other districts in Utah. Above-average districts generally show solid and consistent academic results across their schools. Families considering this area will find a district with meaningful academic strengths.
