High Schools in Alpine District

Alpine District includes 12 high schools serving about 22,342 students in Utah, with most schools serving grades 10–12; Cedar Valley High and Summit High serve grades 7–12, while Skyridge High School and Polaris High School serve grades 9–12. The area includes large comprehensive schools, mid-sized campuses, and two small specialized schools, so families should compare schools using several measures rather than rankings alone.

Lone Peak High has the strongest overall profile, combining a 19th statewide ranking, a 97.0% graduation rate, low dropout and absenteeism rates, and above-district results in English, math, and science. Skyridge High School also performs strongly academically, especially in math and science, although absenteeism is elevated. Pleasant Grove High has shown the largest recent ranking improvement and solid test results, but its absenteeism rate is among the district’s highest. Westlake High stands out for its 96.6% graduation rate and very low dropout rate, despite more moderate test results and a recent ranking decline.

Mathematics is the most consistent academic challenge across the district, with even the stronger schools generally below 40% proficiency. Attendance is also a widespread concern, particularly at Mountain View High, Timpanogos High, and Pleasant Grove High. Mountain View High has especially concerning graduation, dropout, attendance, and math results, while Orem High has strong completion outcomes but weak current proficiency and ranking. Polaris High School and Summit High are much smaller specialized schools and should be evaluated separately; their available test data is limited, and their attendance and graduation results require careful context. Unusual attendance figures, including Cedar Valley’s reported zero percent, should also be verified.
