The Emery District of Utah is home to two high schools: Emery High and Green River High. While both schools serve students in grades 9-12, they exhibit notable differences in their academic performance and school rankings.
Emery High stands out as the stronger-performing school, ranking 76th out of 138 Utah high schools in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to Green River High's ranking of 114th out of 167 in the 2012-2013 school year.

Green River High has a much higher free/reduced lunch rate of 63.75%, compared to Emery High's 32.39%, suggesting that it serves a more economically disadvantaged student population.
