Parents should also consider the school’s significant challenges. Mathematics results were below state rates in sixth, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades, with especially concerning results in sixth- and tenth-grade math. Sixth-grade ELA and science were also weaker than state results, although performance improved by eighth grade. More importantly, the 2024–2025 graduation rate was 74.6%, compared with 89.8% statewide, while the reported dropout rate was 23.9%, versus 8.5% for Utah. These completion figures deserve careful attention even though attendance and selected test scores are strong. Families may want to ask about math intervention, credit recovery, student transfers, and programs that help older students remain on track for graduation.
