Summary

Mountain Crest High is a large public school serving grades 8–12 in Hyrum, Utah, with 1,547 students in the Cache Valley area and a 23.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio. It is part of the relatively strong Cache District, which ranks 16th among Utah’s 92 districts. Mountain Crest currently ranks 43rd of 139 Utah high schools, placing it in the 69th percentile with a three-star rating.

The school’s clearest strengths are keeping students on track and helping them graduate. Its 96.5% graduation rate in 2024–2025 was above both the district and state averages, while its 2.1% dropout rate was the lowest among the major nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism was 14.1%, better than the state and district rates but higher than at Green Canyon High School, Sky View High, and Ridgeline High School. Mountain Crest also performs relatively well for several student groups, including students from low-income households and students receiving special education services.

Academic results show a strong recovery after a sharp decline in 2023–2024. English language arts and science are particular bright spots: 10th-grade ELA proficiency was 56.0%, and science results exceeded state averages in both grades. Math proficiency also exceeds state averages but trails the Cache District average and falls well behind Green Canyon High School. The school’s ranking improved from 108th to 43rd in two years, though it has not yet returned to its exceptional 2015–2019 level. For families, the overall picture is a solid, recovering school with excellent completion outcomes, improving academics, and mathematics and attendance as the main areas to watch.
