Summary:
Mountain Heights Academy is the only high school included in this area, serving 864 students in grades 7–12 in West Jordan, Utah. The school is also reported as its own district, so there are no other schools in the dataset for a direct comparison. With a student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 1, the school may offer relatively small instructional groups. Its current ranking is 54th out of 139 Utah schools, placing it in the 61st percentile with a three-star rating.
Mountain Heights Academy has several encouraging indicators for families. Chronic absenteeism was 8.0%, far below Utah’s 23.8%, and the dropout rate was 6.3%, compared with 8.5% statewide. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 88.9%, close to Utah’s 89.8% average. The school also improved considerably from the prior year, rising from the 43rd to the 61st percentile and moving from a two-star to a three-star rating. Because school and Mountain Heights Academy district results are identical, statewide comparisons are more useful than the district figures.
Academic results vary by subject. English language arts is a major strength, especially in grade 10, where proficiency reached 66.7%, 18.5 percentage points above the Utah average; grade 9 also exceeded the state result. Science performance was generally above statewide levels and improved in both tested high-school grades. Mathematics is the clearest area for improvement, with proficiency below the state in grades 7–10, including particularly low results in grade 8 and grade 10. Eighth-grade ELA also trailed the state. Parents may therefore view the school as strong in attendance, student persistence, ELA, and science, while asking about available math supports and early intervention for students in grades 7 and 8.
