Summary:
Price, Utah, has one listed public high school, Carbon High, serving grades 9–12 with about 1,004 students as part of Carbon District.
Carbon High offers a mixed academic picture for families to consider. Its statewide ranking improved from the 30th percentile in 2024–25 to the 42nd percentile in 2025–26, although it remains below the statewide midpoint. Recent testing was strongest in 10th-grade science, where 43% of students were proficient compared with 39.3% statewide, and 10th-grade English language arts, which was slightly above the Utah average. Ninth-grade results also improved substantially from the prior year in English, mathematics, and science, suggesting encouraging progress among the newest students.
The most important concerns are mathematics and student completion. Only 20.8% of 10th graders were proficient in mathematics, compared with 29.4% statewide, and the result declined from the previous year. The graduation rate was 81.9%, below Utah’s 89.8%, while the dropout rate was 17.7%, more than twice the state rate of 8.5%; these figures are nearly identical to those for Carbon District. Chronic absenteeism was 25.8%, slightly better than the district’s 28.1% but above the state’s 23.8%. Families may want to ask about math support, credit recovery, attendance interventions, counseling, and programs that help students remain on track for graduation.
