Summary

Box Elder High is a large public school serving grades 10–12 in Brigham City, Utah, with 1,641 students and a student-teacher ratio of 23.2 to 1. The school is part of the Box Elder District and currently ranks 82nd out of 139 Utah high schools, placing it at the 41st percentile with a two-star rating. That is a significant change from 2017–18, when it ranked 14th out of 123 schools and was in the four-star range.

Box Elder has a mixed academic profile. English Language Arts is its clearest strength: 53.2% of 10th-graders were proficient in 2025–26, above both the district’s 47.7% and Utah’s 48.2%. Mathematics is the main weakness, with 23.2% proficiency compared with 29.4% statewide; science was also below the state, at 34.2% versus 39.3%. The school’s 90.9% graduation rate was slightly above the state and district, while chronic absenteeism improved to 20.0%, better than the state’s 23.8% and the district’s 32.0%. However, its 8.7% dropout rate was close to state and district averages rather than a standout result.

Compared with nearby comprehensive schools, Box Elder generally outperforms Bear River High, especially in ELA, science, attendance, and overall ranking. It is less competitive with Weber High, Mountain Crest High, Ridgeline High School, and Fremont High in mathematics, graduation, dropout rates, or attendance. Overall, the school’s strongest opportunities are improving mathematics and science while building on its relatively good ELA performance and recent attendance gains.
