Draper Park Middle School

What Draper Park Middle School does

Draper Park Middle School (DPMS, 'Home of the Vikings') is a public middle school located at 13133 S. 1300 East in Draper, Utah, operating within Canyons School District — one of Utah's largest K-12 public school districts. The school serves students in grades 6-8 (ages 11-14), with approximately 20 teachers plus administrative and counseling staff. Enrollment is driven through a combination of geographic boundary assignment and an annual school choice open enrollment window starting November 15, supplemented by Viking Fair open house events for prospective families. The school follows a middle-level educational philosophy with interdisciplinary teaming (students grouped into teams spanning English, math, science, and social studies), a 6-period daily schedule, and a Mastery Grading assessment system.

The school's product surface centers on core middle-school academics augmented by a robust extracurricular catalog: theater productions (e.g., The Little Mermaid Jr., Curtains, High School Musical Jr.), a year-long Dance Company, intramural sports including 3v3 basketball, Club Thursday activities, the Viking Scholar academic recognition program, and the SALTA advanced learner pathway. Educational technology is delivered through a 1:1 Chromebook program, Canvas LMS for learning management, Skyward Qmlativ for student information, Beanstack for reading tracking, and a Follett-powered library catalog. English learner supports include cognate lists, picture dictionaries, and subject-specific vocabulary resources.

The revenue model is public-school funding through Canyons School District and Utah state education allocations, supplemented by one-time student fees (registration, activity, theater tickets $3-$5, Lagoon Day field trip $54, memorybook $30.95-$37.30), and PTSA fundraising via spirit wear, restaurant nights, and direct donations. The school participates in federal free breakfast and lunch programs. Operations are supported by an active parent ecosystem: the School Community Council comprises six staff and nine parent members, with separate PTSA, parent volunteer, and district communications (ParentSquare, Peachjar, Facebook) channels. The school is currently ranked No. 3 in Canyons District and No. 5 in Utah per Niche.com 2025, and is among the Top 25 middle schools in the Greater Salt Lake Area.
