No. UT. Acad. for Math Engineering & Science in Layton has the strongest and most complete recent performance record. It ranked among Utah’s top two schools in each of the last three reported years, including 1st place in 2023–2024 and 2nd place in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 98%, and chronic absenteeism was just 1%. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade proficiency reached 83.9% in English language arts, 74.3% in mathematics, and 70% in science—well above state averages in every subject. Mathematics improved particularly strongly, rising 8.5 percentage points from the previous year.
No. UT. Acad. of Math Engineering & Science Ogden also shows positive indicators, though less current academic information is available. It had a 1.9% chronic absenteeism rate, far below Utah’s 23.8%, and ranked 6th out of 136 schools in 2018–2019. Compared with Layton, Ogden is smaller, has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio, and reports somewhat higher free- and reduced-price lunch participation. Families considering these schools should note that current graduation and assessment results are available for Layton but not Ogden, making Layton easier to evaluate using recent data. Both campuses, however, benefit from the district’s strong overall reputation and serve students in a focused high-school environment.
