Granite District

The Granite District in Utah encompasses 88 schools, including 61 elementary schools, 15 middle schools, 9 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. The district serves a diverse student population, with a mix of racial and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Within the Granite District, several standout schools emerge. Skyline High School and Olympus High School consistently rank among the top high schools in the state, with exceptional test scores and low free and reduced lunch rates. At the elementary level, Morningside School, William Penn School, and Cottonwood School are all high-performing, 5-star rated institutions.

However, the data also reveals a significant performance gap between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, such as Granger High and Taylorsville High. This disparity highlights the need to address the unique challenges faced by economically disadvantaged and minority students, as well as to identify and replicate the successful strategies employed by the district's highest-achieving schools.
