Summary

Salem Hills High is a public high school located in Salem, Utah, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,585 students. It is part of the Nebo School District, which is ranked 50 out of 93 districts in Utah and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Salem Hills High consistently performs above the Nebo District and Utah state averages in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science proficiency on the Utah Aspire Plus assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 53% of 10th-grade students at Salem Hills High were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 49.4% in the Nebo District and 51.8% statewide. The school also has particularly strong performance among Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking 19th out of 69 Utah high schools for Hispanic students and 17th out of 89 Utah high schools for low socioeconomic status students in the 2024-2025 school year.

While Salem Hills High outperforms the Nebo District and Utah state averages, it is not the top-performing school in the immediate vicinity. Maple Mountain High and Springville High, also in the Nebo District, have higher statewide rankings and, in some cases, better student performance metrics than Salem Hills High. Additionally, Salem Hills High has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 34.6% over the past few years, which is an area of concern that the school and district will need to address.
