Summary
Cyprus High is a large public high school serving grades 9–12 in Magna, Utah, with 2,762 students in the Granite District. The school serves a moderately high-need community, with 46.0% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Cyprus ranked 137th of 139 Utah high schools in 2025–26, placing it in the state’s 1st percentile. Its ranking has remained near the bottom for several years, suggesting that the latest result reflects a persistent challenge rather than a single bad year.
Academic performance is well below both district and state averages. In 2025–26, proficiency ranged from 7.7% to 23.0% across reported grades and subjects, with mathematics the most urgent concern: 7.7% of 9th graders and 8.8% of 10th graders were proficient. Science is a relative strength for Cyprus, although its results still trail statewide levels. Compared with nearby large Kearns High, Granger High, Hunter High, and Taylorsville High, Cyprus generally posts lower test results. It slightly exceeded Hunter in both reported science grades, however.
Cyprus’s 2024–25 graduation rate was 79.9%, nearly matching the district’s 80.3% but below Utah’s 89.8%. Its 18.7% dropout rate and 35.2% chronic absenteeism rate are major concerns, even though some nearby schools report worse figures. The school’s large enrollment, 25.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and broad subgroup performance concerns point to a need for schoolwide improvement in attendance, early high school success, math achievement, and graduation planning. Smaller alternatives such as Itineris Early College High and Vanguard Academy report stronger outcomes, but their size, grade spans, and missions differ substantially from Cyprus’s.
