Alpine District

Alpine District serves 87 schools in a large Utah community, including 61 elementary schools, 12 middle schools, 12 high schools, and two alternative schools. School sizes vary widely, from comprehensive high schools with more than 3,000 students to small specialized programs. Overall, the district ranks 32nd of 92 Utah districts, at the 65th percentile. The strongest overall performance is concentrated in elementary and middle schools. Highland School is the leading elementary school, ranking fourth statewide with a 99th-percentile rating. Mountain Ridge Junior High leads the middle schools, ranking seventh of 217, while Lone Peak High is the highest-ranked traditional high school.

Families comparing elementary schools will find several strong options, including Westfield School, Cedar Ridge School, Eaglecrest School, Shelley School, Foothill School, and Riverview School. These schools commonly report proficiency above 70% in selected reading, mathematics, or science grades. Among middle schools, Timberline Middle, Lehi Junior High, and Lake Mountain Middle are notable for strong science and mathematics results. Results are much more uneven at Orem Junior High and Frontier Middle School, where several tested subjects are considerably weaker.

High schools generally post solid graduation outcomes, led by Lone Peak High at 97.0% and Westlake High at 96.6%. Skyridge High School and Pleasant Grove High show strong academic rankings, although attendance is a concern at both. Tenth-grade mathematics is the clearest districtwide weakness: proficiency is below 40% at nearly every large high school. Chronic absenteeism also varies considerably, with especially high rates at alternative, online, and specialized schools such as Summit High, Polaris High School, and Alpine Online School. Parents should compare schools by grade level, subject, attendance, graduation results, and program type rather than relying on a single overall rank.
