High Schools in Jordan District

Jordan District includes nine high schools in the Jordan area, serving primarily grades 9–12, with Valley High School serving grades 7–12; enrollment ranges from 165 students at South Valley School to 2,837 at Copper Hills High. The six large comprehensive schools serve most students, while Valley, Kings Peak High, and South Valley are smaller or specialized settings that may require different comparisons.

Bingham High is the strongest overall performer, with the highest large-school results in English, mathematics, and science, a 95.4% graduation rate, and exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at 0.4%. Herriman High has the most encouraging recent improvement: its state ranking rose sharply, and proficiency increased in all three subjects. Riverton High also shows a balanced profile, exceeding district and state averages in English and mathematics. Mountain Ridge High has strong graduation and dropout outcomes despite weaker recent academic rankings.

Mathematics is the main academic challenge across the area, particularly at Copper Hills High, Mountain Ridge, and West Jordan High. West Jordan has the greatest level of concern among the large schools, with low proficiency, an 82.1% graduation rate, a 15.5% dropout rate, and 29.6% chronic absenteeism. Kings Peak also reports low graduation and high dropout rates, with especially weak ninth-grade mathematics results. Valley has incomplete assessment data, while South Valley reports very high absenteeism but serves a specialized population. Parents comparing schools should consider academics, attendance, graduation outcomes, school size, and each school’s mission together.
