High Schools in Tooele District

The Tooele District includes four high schools serving 5,477 students in the Tooele area: three schools for grades 9–12 and Wendover High, which serves grades 7–12. Stansbury High is the largest, followed by Tooele High, Grantsville High, and Wendover. Families should keep these differences in size and grade configuration in mind when comparing schools.

Stansbury High has the strongest graduation profile, with an 89.1% graduation rate and the lowest reported dropout rate at 10.6%. It also performs especially well in English language arts and science, including 50.9% proficiency in ninth-grade science. Grantsville High has the highest current ranking and the strongest recent academic momentum, improving from 109th to 93rd statewide. Its mathematics results are a notable strength, particularly ninth-grade math at 43.0%. Tooele High performs best in 10th-grade math, but its overall ranking is lower and its ninth-grade results are less consistent.

Attendance is an important concern across the district: every school with reported data had chronic absenteeism above the state rate. Tooele’s rate was highest at 33.8%, compared with 26.4% at Stansbury, 26.9% at Grantsville, and 25.6% at Wendover. Wendover’s very small enrollment, low student-teacher ratio, high per-student spending, and grades 7–12 structure make direct comparisons difficult; many of its assessment results are reported as ranges rather than exact percentages. Overall, parents may want to focus on each school’s particular strengths: Stansbury’s graduation and science outcomes, Grantsville’s improvement and math performance, Tooele’s attendance and ninth-grade needs, and Wendover’s small-school setting.
