Summary

American Fork High is a large public school in American Fork, Utah, serving grades 10–12 and enrolling 2,316 students in the suburban Alpine District. Its student-teacher ratio is 25:1, and its location provides access to several nearby traditional high schools for comparison. The school ranked 64th of 139 Utah high schools in 2025–26, placing it near the middle statewide with a three-star rating.

Academically, American Fork has a mixed profile. English language arts is a relative strength: 53.1% of 10th graders were proficient in 2025–26, above the Utah rate of 48.2% and slightly above the district rate of 51.9%. Mathematics is the clearest concern, with only 26.5% of 10th graders proficient, below both the district and state. Science proficiency was 39.1%, roughly level with Utah but below stronger nearby schools. In comparison, Lone Peak High, Skyridge High School, and Pleasant Grove High currently outperform American Fork in overall ranking and most tested subjects. American Fork remains ahead of Timpanogos High in several measures and is generally comparable with Lehi High.

Student-success measures are more encouraging than test scores. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 92.4%, above Utah’s 89.8%, while the dropout rate was 6.4%, below the state’s 8.5%. Chronic absenteeism improved dramatically to 9.6%, the lowest rate among the large nearby traditional schools and substantially below the district and state. Still, the school’s statewide ranking has fallen from 20th in 2022–23, alongside declines in recent academic results. Overall, American Fork offers a strong attendance and graduation foundation, but improving 10th-grade mathematics, science, and consistency across student groups appears important for regaining its earlier competitiveness.
