Summary:
Bountiful, Utah, has two public high schools—Viewmont High and Bountiful High—both serving grades 10–12 in the Davis District. The schools are similar in size, with about 1,550 students each, and both serve communities with very similar reported rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Families comparing the schools will find that each has important strengths, but their recent results differ in meaningful ways.
Viewmont High has the stronger graduation, attendance, and student-completion profile. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 96.6%, compared with 92.6% at Bountiful High, while its dropout rate was much lower, 1.7% versus 5.5%. Viewmont also had less chronic absenteeism, 20.2% compared with Bountiful’s 28.1%. Academically, Viewmont’s clearest advantage is mathematics: 41.8% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 31.9% at Bountiful. However, Viewmont’s recent ranking declined, and its English language arts results fell from the prior year. Science remains an area for improvement, with 32.8% proficiency in 2025–2026.
Bountiful High shows stronger recent academic momentum. Its 2025–2026 ranking improved to 51st out of 139 schools, just ahead of Viewmont, after ranking 87th the previous year. Bountiful led Viewmont in current English language arts proficiency, 54.1% to 51.8%, and science, 39.9% to 32.8%; its science result rose sharply from the year before. Still, families should consider Bountiful’s higher absenteeism and dropout rates, lower graduation rate, and weaker mathematics performance. Overall, Viewmont appears stronger for consistent completion outcomes and mathematics, while Bountiful has made the more noticeable recent academic recovery. Attendance, graduation support, and science and mathematics performance are the most important areas to compare.
