North Sanpete High

North Sanpete High is a public school serving grades 9–12 in the Mt. Pleasant, Utah, community, with 782 students and a student-teacher ratio of 24.9 to 1. The school’s 2025–26 ranking places it in the 27th percentile statewide, below the midpoint among Utah high schools.

Academic results are mixed, with mathematics the clearest concern. In 2025–26, 18.2% of 10th graders and 28.5% of 9th graders were proficient in math, compared with 29.4% and 39.4% statewide. Science results were also below state averages, while English language arts was comparatively stronger: 42.5% of 10th graders and 43.6% of 9th graders were proficient. ELA performance has varied considerably, however, including a drop from 55.7% proficiency in 10th grade in 2024–25 to 42.5% the following year. The school’s results are generally close to those of the North Sanpete District, suggesting that math and science challenges are shared locally rather than being unique to the high school.

For families, graduation and student persistence are important strengths. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 90.4%, slightly above Utah’s 89.8%, while the dropout rate was 6.6%, below both the district and state. Chronic absenteeism also improved substantially, falling to 14.2% in 2024–25 versus 23.8% statewide. The school ranked above the statewide midpoint for serving economically disadvantaged students, another encouraging sign. No other schools were identified within 20 miles, so direct nearby-school comparisons are unavailable. Overall, the school appears relatively effective at keeping students attending and on track to graduate, but parents may want to ask about plans for improving math and science achievement, stabilizing ELA results, and providing individualized support in relatively large classes.
