South Summit District

South Summit District includes five schools serving about 1,616 students across grades PK–12 in the South Summit area of Utah, with three larger campuses and two much smaller Silver Summit schools. The district includes South Summit School for elementary students, South Summit Middle, South Summit High, and the smaller Silver Summit School and Silver Summit Academy. The district ranks 53rd of 92 Utah districts in the supplied data.

For parents comparing the larger schools, South Summit School stands out for mathematics: third- and fourth-grade math proficiency exceeded both district and state averages in 2025–2026. South Summit Middle had by far the district’s lowest chronic absenteeism rate, at 1.4%, and performed above the state average in sixth- and eighth-grade math and science. However, its seventh-grade results were weaker, especially in English language arts, math, and science. South Summit High showed the strongest recent ranking improvement, reaching the 50th percentile, and had an 89.5% graduation rate. Its math results were above state averages, although its scores remained below the district average in every reported subject and grade.

The two smaller Silver Summit schools offer lower student-teacher ratios, but parents should pay close attention to attendance and the limited reporting available for small schools. Silver Summit Academy had potentially strong reported results in several high-school subjects, but its chronic absenteeism rate was 28.6%. Silver Summit School had the district’s highest absenteeism rate, at 46.7%, while several academic results were reported only as ranges or “under” a threshold. These figures should not be treated as exact scores. Overall, the district’s clearest priorities are reducing absenteeism at the Silver Summit campuses, improving middle-school English and seventh-grade achievement, strengthening high-school science, and maintaining the encouraging mathematics performance at the larger South Summit schools.
