Summary

No. UT. Acad. for Math Engineering & Science (NUAMES) is a specialized public high school in Layton, Utah, serving grades 9–12 and 667 students in an area with several larger traditional high schools nearby. The school is a consistent statewide standout: it ranked second in Utah in both 2025–2026 and 2024–2025, after ranking first in 2023–2024, and has generally placed first or second for about a decade.

NUAMES’ academic results are exceptional. In 2025–2026, 83.9% of 10th graders were proficient in English language arts, 74.3% in mathematics, and 70.0% in science. These results were well above Davis High, the strongest-performing nearby traditional comparison school, which reported 54.4%, 56.3%, and 49.1% in those subjects. NUAMES also exceeded Utah’s statewide rates by 35.7 percentage points in English, 44.9 points in mathematics, and 30.7 points in science. The school’s mathematics results are especially notable, given the much lower math proficiency rates at schools such as Bonneville High, Northridge High, and Clearfield High.

The school also combines strong testing with a 98.0% graduation rate and exceptionally low chronic absenteeism of 1.0% in 2024–2025. Its student-teacher ratio was 20.9, better than nearby large schools such as Syracuse High and Layton High, though some smaller or online schools reported lower ratios. Families should also consider context: NUAMES has a specialized 9–12 structure, smaller enrollment, and a much lower free/reduced-price lunch rate than most nearby schools. Even with those differences, its long-term academic, attendance, graduation, and subgroup results make it a clear outlier among surrounding schools.
