Summary

Riverton High is a large public school in Riverton, Utah, serving grades 10–12 and 2,295 students as part of the Jordan District. Its statewide ranking has improved substantially, rising from the 27th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 53rd percentile in 2025–2026. Riverton is now a mid-performing school statewide, though it remains behind stronger nearby schools such as Bingham High and Herriman High.

Parents will find several encouraging indicators in Riverton’s student outcomes. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 93.7%, above both the district’s 91.8% and Utah’s 89.8%, while the dropout rate was lower than district and state rates. Chronic absenteeism was 13.8%, also considerably better than the district and state averages, and it has improved from 21.0% in 2021–2022. Riverton’s student-teacher ratio has also declined to 24.3, similar to large nearby schools. The school’s strongest subgroup result was its 2025–2026 ranking for Hispanic students, which reached the 90th percentile. Its special education subgroup ranking has also improved notably, although other subgroup results vary from year to year.

Academically, Riverton’s profile is mixed but improving. In 2025–2026, 52.3% of 10th graders were proficient in English language arts and 35.0% in mathematics—both above district and state rates. Mathematics was competitive with Herriman High and Bingham High, and Riverton outperformed Mountain Ridge High in math and English. Science is the clearest concern: proficiency was 30.3%, below Utah, the district, and all three large traditional peers. Overall, Riverton offers improving attendance, solid graduation results, and relative strengths in English and mathematics, while science achievement deserves the closest attention.
