Best High Schools in Midvale, UT

Summary:

The city of Midvale, Utah is home to a single high school, Hillcrest High. This school serves students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Canyons District. While Hillcrest High is the only high school option in Midvale, the analysis of its performance reveals several areas of concern.

Hillcrest High has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 49th out of 138 Utah high schools in 2023-2024 to 84th out of 138 in 2024-2025. The school's test scores in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently below the Canyons District and Utah state averages.

Socioeconomic challenges also appear to be a factor, as 39.42% of Hillcrest High students receive free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the school serves a population with significant economic hardships, which may contribute to the academic performance issues. Overall, while Hillcrest High is the sole high school option in Midvale, the data reveals the school is struggling to maintain its performance and may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the identified challenges and improve student outcomes.
