Best Public Schools in Salina, UT

Salina, Utah, has three public schools serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade in the Sevier District: Salina School, North Sevier Middle, and North Sevier High, with a combined enrollment of about 901 students.

For parents comparing schools, North Sevier High stands out as the strongest overall performer. It ranks in the 68th percentile statewide, has a 93.9% graduation rate, and reports a 6.1% dropout rate, both better than Utah averages. Its students perform above state averages in reported high-school mathematics, and 10th-grade science is especially strong. Salina School also shows encouraging results, particularly in science: fourth- and fifth-grade proficiency exceeds state results, with fifth-grade science reaching 64.2%. The school improved substantially in its latest ranking, rising to the 54th percentile after a weaker prior year.

North Sevier Middle is the main area of concern. Its ranking declined from the 60th percentile two years ago to the 36th percentile most recently, and mathematics proficiency is especially low in sixth and seventh grades. Results improve considerably by eighth grade, when English, math, and science all exceed state averages. Across all three schools, chronic absenteeism is higher than the Utah rate, with the high school highest at 37.1%. Families may therefore want to ask about attendance support, middle-school math interventions, and the programs helping students build on the strong science and high-school completion results.
