Summary

Oquirrh Hills Middle is a large public school in Riverton, Utah, serving grades 7–9 with 1,261 students in the suburban Jordan District. The school has shown notable recent improvement: it ranked in the 77th percentile statewide in 2025–26, earning four stars and placing 50th among 217 Utah schools. That is a substantial rise from the 30th percentile in 2021–22. Although Elk Ridge Middle, Fort Herriman Middle, and Mountain Creek Middle School rank higher locally, Oquirrh Hills is ahead of several other nearby schools.

Academically, Oquirrh Hills performed above Utah and Jordan District averages in every tested subject and grade, though its seventh-grade science result was only slightly above the state average and below the district average. English language arts is a consistent strength, while mathematics is especially impressive: 8th-grade proficiency was 52.3%, second only to Elk Ridge among nearby schools, and 9th-grade mathematics was 58.3%, also trailing only Elk Ridge. Ninth-grade science was another standout at 65.0%. These results suggest students are maintaining strong performance as they approach high school.

Attendance is another advantage. Chronic absenteeism was 13.1% in 2024–25, well below the district’s 21.9% and Utah’s 23.8%, and lower than most nearby comparison schools. Only South Jordan Middle and Fort Herriman had better attendance rates. Oquirrh Hills also compares favorably in student-teacher ratio, at 22.5 students per teacher, and its effectiveness rankings are strong for students receiving special education services and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Overall, it appears to be a strong, improving school, with seventh-grade science and continued progress toward local leaders as the main areas to watch.
