of 217 Utah Middle Schools

Better than 91% of Utah middle schools

Summary

Timberline Middle is a 1,322-student public school serving grades 7–9 in Alpine, Utah, within the Alpine District. Located near several middle schools in the Alpine region, it ranks 19th among 217 Utah middle schools, placing it in the 91st percentile, and currently holds a five-star rating. Timberline is the second-highest-ranked school in its local comparison group, behind Mountain Ridge Junior High (7th statewide) and just ahead of Draper Park Middle. Its ranking has remained consistently strong, generally placing in the state’s top 10% in recent years.

Academically, Timberline performs above both district and Utah averages in every reported subject and grade. Mathematics is the school’s clearest strength: proficiency is 68.4% in seventh grade, 61.6% in eighth grade, and 57.1% in ninth grade. The eighth-grade math result is especially notable, exceeding the state rate by more than 22 percentage points and substantially outperforming nearby schools such as Willowcreek Middle and American Fork Junior High. English language arts improves by grade, reaching 60.5% in ninth grade, while science is strongest in eighth grade at 70.3%. Mountain Ridge Junior High is generally stronger in ELA and science, while Timberline is highly competitive in math.

Chronic absenteeism was 21.5% in 2024–2025, an improvement from the prior year and below Utah’s 23.8%, though slightly above the Alpine District rate. The student-teacher ratio of 26.8 is relatively high compared with Mountain Ridge Junior High and some other nearby schools, making staffing and class size areas worth monitoring. Timberline also serves a relatively low share of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, so comparisons with schools serving more economically disadvantaged communities require context. Overall, the school combines sustained high performance with opportunities to strengthen seventh-grade science, reduce absenteeism, and improve support for students receiving special education services.
