High Schools in Sevier District

Sevier District has four high schools serving grades 6–12, with three traditional 9–12 schools and one very small 6–12 school serving communities in the Sevier County area of central Utah. Together, the schools enroll about 1,542 students. South Sevier High is the strongest overall performer, ranking 34th of 139 Utah schools, followed by North Sevier High at 45th and Richfield High at 60th. Cedar Ridge High is much smaller and has no recent ranking shown.

South Sevier High stands out for its 97.1% graduation rate, 2.9% dropout rate, strongest overall test results, and substantial improvement in its recent ranking. It is particularly strong in ninth-grade math and science and tenth-grade science, although tenth-grade math is a relative weakness. North Sevier High has the lowest student-teacher ratio among the traditional high schools and performs especially well in tenth-grade science and ninth-grade math. However, its chronic absenteeism rate is the highest among those three schools, and its tenth-grade ELA results declined notably. Richfield High is the largest school, with 789 students, and has improved its ranking while posting the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among the traditional schools. Its strongest academic areas are tenth-grade math and ELA, while ninth-grade results need attention.

Attendance is the most important shared concern: chronic absenteeism is above the state rate at every school. Rates are 27.2% at Richfield High, 31.7% at South Sevier High, 37.1% at North Sevier High, and 70.8% at Cedar Ridge High. Cedar Ridge also reports a 75% graduation rate and 25% dropout rate, but its very small enrollment and broader grade span make direct comparisons difficult. Overall, families will find solid graduation outcomes at the three traditional high schools, with school choice depending on priorities such as academic performance, school size, attendance, and support needs.
