Summary

Orem High is a public high school serving grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 1,299 students in Orem, Utah, which is part of the Alpine School District. The school has shown fluctuating academic performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from around 20% to 50% in English Language Arts, 21% to 34% in Mathematics, and 29% to 39% in Science over the past few years.

Orem High's graduation rates have ranged from 88.3% to 94.1%, which is generally on par with nearby schools like Polaris High School, Pleasant Grove High, and Timpanogos High. However, Orem High has experienced higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.8% to 28.4%, which may be impacting overall student achievement.

One bright spot for Orem High is its performance in serving its Hispanic, White, and low socioeconomic status student populations, with these subgroups often ranking in the top half or top third of Utah high schools in their respective categories. This suggests the school is effectively meeting the needs of its diverse learners. To further improve, Orem High could look to high-performing schools like Karl G. Maeser Preparatory Academy, which ranks among the top schools in the state, for insights and best practices.
