North Summit High

North Summit High is a public school serving grades 9–12 in Coalville, Utah, with 371 students in a small, rural community about 17–20 miles from several larger nearby high schools. The school is part of the North Summit District, which ranks 17th of 92 Utah districts, and the school ranks 26th of 139 Utah high schools, placing it in the 81st percentile with a four-star rating. Its small enrollment can mean that results vary more from year to year, but the overall picture is that of a strong school.

Mathematics is North Summit’s clearest academic strength. In the latest results, 58.1% of 10th graders were proficient in math, compared with 29.4% statewide and 41.7% at Morgan High. North Summit also outperformed Park City High and South Summit High in 10th-grade math. Science performance was also above the state average in both grades. English results were modestly above Utah averages, although Park City and Morgan posted stronger ELA scores. Compared with South Summit, North Summit performed better across all six latest subject-grade measures and had a higher overall ranking.

For families considering day-to-day student outcomes, North Summit’s 10.3% chronic absenteeism rate was well below Utah’s 23.8% and South Summit’s 16.3%, though it was higher than the 6.8% reported by Park City and Morgan. The 89.8% graduation rate matched the state average but trailed Park City’s 95.2% and Morgan’s 97.1%; the dropout rate was 7.1%, better than the state and South Summit but above those two schools. Parents may also want to watch the decline in graduation results from the low 90s in earlier years and the fluctuation in test scores and rankings. Overall, North Summit offers strong STEM performance, good attendance, and a smaller-school setting, with the greatest opportunities in graduation consistency, 9th-grade math, and ELA.
