Summary
Success DSU is a public charter high school located in St. George, Utah, serving grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 316 students. This high-performing school is part of the Success Academy district, which is ranked 7th out of 93 districts in Utah and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Success DSU consistently ranks among the top high schools in Utah, with rankings ranging from 3rd to 19th out of 138-139 schools in recent years. The school's 10th-grade students have demonstrated exceptional performance on the Utah Aspire Plus assessments, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 78.9% of Success DSU's 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51.8%. Additionally, Success DSU has maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 88.2% to 98.0% in recent years, which are well above the state average, and relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 3.8% to 9.9%.
When compared to nearby public high schools, such as Desert Hills High, Crimson Cliffs High, and Snow Canyon High, which are part of the Washington District, Success DSU outperforms these schools in academic performance, graduation rates, and student demographics. However, the school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 7.59% to 13% in recent years, may suggest that the school's population is not representative of the broader community, potentially raising equity concerns.
