Summary

Mountain Heights Academy is a public school serving grades 7–12 in West Jordan, Utah, with 864 students. As a relatively small school compared with nearby traditional high schools, it serves families in a suburban Salt Lake Valley area and has a student-teacher ratio of 11.6. Its latest statewide ranking is 54th out of 139 Utah schools, placing it at the 61st percentile with a 3-star rating. This is a substantial improvement from the previous year, when it ranked at the 43rd percentile, although the school’s results have varied considerably over time.

The school’s strongest story is student persistence. Its graduation rate increased from 78.5% in 2020–21 to 88.9% in 2024–25, while its dropout rate fell to 6.3%, below Utah’s 8.5% rate. Chronic absenteeism was just 8.0%, compared with 23.8% statewide. These results compare favorably with nearby West Jordan High, Jordan High, and Kings Peak High. Bingham High remains the strongest nearby benchmark, with a 95.4% graduation rate, 3.5% dropout rate, and 0.4% chronic absenteeism.

Academically, Mountain Heights Academy is strongest in English language arts and science. In 2025–26, 66.7% of 10th graders were proficient in ELA, well above Utah’s 48.2% and higher than results at nearby Itineris Early College High and Bingham High. Science results were also above the state average. Mathematics is the clearest concern: 19.7% of 10th graders were proficient, compared with 29.4% statewide, and middle-grade math results were also weak. Overall, the school offers improving attendance and graduation outcomes, strong ELA and science performance, and a clear opportunity to strengthen mathematics.
