Mormon Hills tops Creston Valley schools in rankings

According to the Fraser Institute the best-performing elementary school in the Creston Valley is Mormon Hills.

The think-tank has released its annual rankings of schools in BC based on provincial test results.

But it’s often criticized by educators and administrators as an inaccurate reflection.

The bountiful school came in 74th out of 956 in the province.

It’s run by polygamist leader Winston Blackmore.
