High Schools in Paradigm High School

Summary:

Paradigm High School is the sole high school located in South Jordan, Utah, serving students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah high schools over the past three years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's 4-year graduation rate of 88.8% is slightly below the state average, its dropout rate of 9.4% and chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% are areas of concern.

Academically, Paradigm High School's students perform better than the state average in English Language Arts, but significantly worse in Mathematics and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 9.8% of 10th-grade students were proficient in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 29%. The school's 8th-grade students also performed worse than the state average in English Language Arts, and its 9th-grade students performed worse in Mathematics and Science.

The school's per-student spending of $7,957 for the 2018-2019 school year was below the state average, which may contribute to the school's overall performance challenges. With a student-teacher ratio of 20:1, Paradigm High School should focus on addressing its weaknesses in Mathematics and Science, reducing chronic absenteeism, and ensuring adequate funding to provide a high-quality education for its students.
