Westfield Elementary in Alpine recorded the largest performance gain among elementary schools in the Alpine School District according to state report cards released by the Utah State Board of Education. The school achieved a 9.9 percentage point increase in overall performance during the 2025-26 school year.
The performance climb at Westfield Elementary was driven by gains in achievement, growth, and lowest-quartile growth. Camille Zollinger, the principal at Westfield Elementary, stated that the results reflect collaboration among staff. Zollinger noted that the staff is invested in helping every student grow every day.
Several other schools serving families in Alpine, Highland, Cedar Hills, and Lehi were identified as top gainers in the district. At the high school level, Lone Peak High in Highland led the district with a 6.4-percentage-point increase in achievement, growth, and English Learner progress. Skyridge High in Lehi saw a 3.0 percentage point rise driven by achievement and postsecondary readiness.
At the middle school level, Willowcreek Middle in Lehi improved by 3.4 percentage points, with increases noted in achievement, growth, and lowest-quartile growth.
Jason Crowton, the Alpine District director of results and achievement, said the report cards help the district identify trends and recognize areas needing improvement. Crowton explained that achievement measures student performance on Utah RISE and Utah Aspire Plus assessments against state standards, while growth tracks year-to-year progress relative to peers. Crowton also cautioned that the report cards do not provide a complete picture of an individual student or school.
The district highlighted only the top gainers at each level and did not publish absolute performance scores. Results for other schools, including Lehi High, were not included in the report.
