Maple Grove Middle stands out as the highest-ranked school in the data set with a 4-star rating for the 2024-2025 school year.

Nebo Middle standing out as the lowest-performing schools, with 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger and test scores well below the district and state averages. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% across all schools is a significant issue that likely impacts student learning and achievement.
