West Jordan High

West Jordan High is a large public school serving grades 10–12 in the West Jordan area of Jordan District, with 1,761 students and a diverse, economically mixed student population. Its 2025–26 statewide ranking was 127th of 139 Utah high schools, placing it at the 9th percentile. Academic performance was below district and state averages in every tested subject: 35.1% of 10th graders were proficient in English language arts, 14.8% in math, and 20.3% in science. Math has remained the most persistent weakness, while science performance has stayed near 20% for several years. English language arts improved substantially between 2022–23 and 2024–25, but the latest result declined.

Graduation outcomes have improved recently but remain below local and state benchmarks. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 82.1%, compared with 91.8% in Jordan District and 89.8% statewide. The dropout rate fell to 15.5%, but that was still well above the district’s 6.9% and Utah’s 8.5%. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern: 29.6% of students were chronically absent, compared with 21.9% districtwide. This attendance challenge has remained elevated in recent years and may be an important focus for families evaluating student support and engagement.

Compared with nearby traditional schools, West Jordan High trails both Bingham High and Copper Hills High academically. In 2025–26, Bingham High posted proficiency rates of 59.8% in ELA, 37.5% in math, and 54.1% in science, while Copper Hills High also exceeded West Jordan High in all three subjects. Bingham High also had a 95.4% graduation rate, a 3.5% dropout rate, and 0.4% chronic absenteeism. Overall, West Jordan High shows encouraging progress in graduation and dropout rates, but attendance, math, science, and long-term statewide performance remain its clearest challenges.
