Summary

Mapleton Junior High in Mapleton, Utah, is a large grades 7–9 school serving 1,312 students in the Nebo District. The school ranks 71st of 217 Utah schools, placing it in the 67th percentile with a three-star rating. Its performance has improved substantially, rising from the 43rd percentile in 2022–23 to the 67th percentile in 2025–26. It is now the second-highest-ranked Nebo District school in this comparison, just behind Maple Grove Middle.

Academically, the school’s clearest strengths are eighth-grade mathematics and science and ninth-grade English language arts. In 2025–26, 44% of eighth graders were proficient in math and 62.6% in science, both well above Nebo District and Utah averages. Ninth-grade ELA proficiency was 50.3%, also above district and state results and higher than nearby Spanish Fork Junior High, Springville Junior High, Salem Junior High, and Payson Junior High. Results improved across every reported eighth- and ninth-grade subject, although ninth-grade math and science remain more average.

Families should also consider the school’s size and daily operations. Mapleton has the highest reported student-teacher ratio among nearby comparison schools, at 24.8, but still produces stronger overall results than most local grades 7–9 schools. Chronic absenteeism was 26.1% in 2024–25—the lowest among nearby Nebo District schools with reported data, though above Utah’s 23.8% rate. The main areas to watch are sustaining eighth-grade gains into ninth-grade math and science, reducing absenteeism, and supporting students in a large-school environment. Overall, Mapleton stands out as a strong, improving local option.
