How Utah's high schools compare

A: 37B: 37C: 41D: 39F: 7

46% of the 161 ranked high schools in Utah earn an A or B (37 A grades, 37 B, 41 C, 39 D, 7 F), against 50% of high schools nationwide. 119 schools meet or beat the proficiency projected from their student context (74% here, 74% nationally), and 70 exceed it. On average 39% of tested students meet the state bar against a projected 35% (national averages: 44% actual, 41% projected).

The biggest overperformers, by actual proficiency above projection: Salt Lake Center For Science Education (67% against 21%, A+), Utah County Academy Of Science (82% against 46%, A+), Success Suu (78% against 45%, A+), Millard High (56% against 32%, A), Innovations High School (38% against 16%, C).

Districts with the most schools in the top quarter (the top 41): Cache District (3), Washington District (2), Granite District (2), Kane District (2).

Cities with the most ranked high schools: Salt Lake City (11, 7 at A or B), Ogden (7, 2 at A or B), West Valley City (7, 1 at A or B), Orem (4, 2 at A or B), Cedar City (4, 4 at A or B).

The largest ranked high schools: Granger High (3,481 students, D-, #151), Cedar Valley High (2,924 students, C+, #77), Copper Hills High (2,841 students, D+, #127).

Of the top 25, 4 are magnet schools and 11 are charters. Selective and specialised schools tend to post high actual scores; the projection column is the fairer comparison for a neighborhood school.

Special-purpose schools (13)
