How Utah's high schools compare

A: 8B: 52C: 73D: 27F: 1

37% of the 161 ranked high schools in Utah earn an A or B (8 A grades, 52 B, 73 C, 27 D, 1 F), against 48% of high schools nationwide. 80 schools meet or beat the proficiency projected from their student context (50% here, 75% nationally), and 31 exceed it. On average 36% of tested students meet the state bar against a projected 40% (national averages: 42% actual, 40% projected).

The biggest overperformers, by actual proficiency above projection: Utah County Academy Of Science (72% against 44%, A), Intech Collegiate Academy North (67% against 40%, A-), Success Suu (70% against 44%, A), No Ut Acad For Math Engineering And Science (69% against 45%, A), Itineris Early College High (62% against 40%, A-).

Districts with the most schools in the top quarter (the top 41): Washington District (4), Canyons District (3), Davis District (3), Alpine District (3).

Cities with the most ranked high schools: Salt Lake City (12, 5 at A or B), Ogden (7, 3 at A or B), West Valley City (7, 1 at A or B), Orem (4, 2 at A or B), Cedar City (4, 2 at A or B).

The largest ranked high schools: Granger High (3,481 students, D-, #158), Cedar Valley High (2,924 students, C, #92), Copper Hills High (2,841 students, C-, #115).

Of the top 25, 5 are magnet schools and 10 are charters. Selective and specialised schools tend to post high actual scores; the projection column is the fairer comparison for a neighborhood school.

High schools in Utah that are not ranked

59 graded high schools are listed here rather than ranked, each for the reason given. Every one has its own page with its full SchoolGrade report.

Special-purpose schools (22)

Alternative, special-education and vocational schools serve a different mission and a different student body, so they are graded but not ranked against regular schools.

Fully online schools (9)

Statewide virtual schools draw students from everywhere, so a place ranking is not a fair comparison.

Very small schools (2)

Schools with fewer than 30 students have grades that swing on a handful of test results.

Closed schools (1)

NCES lists these schools as closed or inactive since their last graded year.

Not yet graded (25)

Too little test data to grade.

About this ranking

  • Scope: every public high school in Utah.
  • Order: SchoolGrade, then actual proficiency, then name; schools with the same grade and score share a rank.
  • Ranked: regular public schools that NCES lists as open, not fully online, with at least 30 students. Others are listed with the reason.
  • Tags: Magnet and Charter from the NCES school directory; K-12 marks schools serving every grade that are ranked with the high schools.
  • Grades are the 2025-26 SchoolGrade model. How SchoolGrade works
