Summary:
Hyrum, Utah, has four public schools serving about 3,971 students from prekindergarten through 12th grade: Canyon School and Lincoln School serve elementary grades, South Cache Middle School serves grades 7–8, and Mountain Crest High serves grades 8–12. All are part of Cache District, a strong district ranked in the 83rd percentile statewide.
South Cache Middle School is the area’s academic standout, ranking 29th of 217 Utah middle schools, or in the 87th percentile. Its reported test proficiency averages about 59%, led by strong seventh- and eighth-grade math and science results. Mountain Crest High ranks in the 69th percentile and has the strongest completion outcomes, including a 96.5% graduation rate, a 2.1% dropout rate, and chronic absenteeism below both district and state levels. It has also made the city’s largest ranking improvement in recent years. Parents should note that mathematics, especially Grade 10 math, remains a relative weakness at the high school.
Among the elementary schools, Lincoln School ranks highest and has the most favorable student-teacher ratio, while Canyon School has shown steady ranking improvement and particularly strong Grade 6 science performance. Both elementary schools outperform Utah overall but generally trail the district average, with upper-grade math and English results needing attention. Attendance is the broadest concern: chronic absenteeism is highest at Lincoln, followed by South Cache and Canyon, while Mountain Crest is the only school below the district rate. Overall, Hyrum offers above-state-average schools, with especially strong secondary performance and useful opportunities to improve attendance and elementary achievement.
