Utah County Academy of Science

Summary:

The Utah County Academy of Science is a standout public magnet charter high school located in Orem, Utah. As the only school in the Utah County Academy of Science district, it has consistently ranked among the top high schools in the state, earning a #1 ranking in 2022-2023 and 2024-2025, and a #2 ranking in 2023-2024 according to SchoolDigger.

The school boasts exceptional academic performance, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for both 9th and 10th-grade students. Its 4-year graduation rate of 88.8% and relatively low dropout rate of 9.4% for the 2023-2024 school year further demonstrate the school's success in supporting student achievement. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% for the same year is higher than the state average, an area the school may want to address.

While the school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was slightly lower than the state average at $8,825, it maintains a student-teacher ratio of 24.9 for the 2023-2024 school year, slightly higher than the state average. The school's relatively low percentage of students (17.3%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests it may be serving a more affluent student population, which could impact the school's resources and ability to support students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
