The school's graduation and dropout rates are also slightly worse than the Utah average. While Emery High School performs better in English Language Arts compared to the state, its performance in Mathematics and Science is weaker, indicating a potential need to strengthen the school's curriculum and instructional practices in these subject areas. The school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's performance, and targeted support and resources for these students could help address any disparities.
