Summary:
East Hollywood High is the only high school listed in this area, serving grades 9–12 in West Valley City, Utah, with 318 students. The school has a student–teacher ratio of 21.7 and serves a community where 58.18% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Because there is only one school in the list, families cannot make a direct school-to-school comparison within the area.
The most important concern for parents is attendance and completion. In 2024–2025, East Hollywood High reported a chronic absenteeism rate of 78.3%, compared with 23.8% statewide. Its dropout rate was 26.8%, compared with 8.5% statewide, while its graduation rate was 70.7%, below Utah’s 89.8%. These figures suggest that consistent attendance, staying engaged in school, earning credits, and graduating are major challenges. Families may want to ask about attendance support, counseling, credit recovery, tutoring, and plans for helping students remain on track.
Academic performance was below Utah averages in every reported 2025–2026 subject and grade. The strongest result was 10th-grade English Language Arts, with 28.9% of students proficient, while 10th-grade science reached 23.4%. Mathematics was the clearest weakness: fewer than 6.8% of 10th graders were proficient, compared with 29.4% statewide. The school’s ranking improved from last among 138 schools in 2023–2024 to 129th of 139 in 2025–2026, but it remained near the bottom statewide. Overall, parents should focus on the school’s plans to improve attendance, mathematics instruction, graduation support, and student re-engagement.
