For 2025–2026, the school ranked 10th out of 217 Utah middle schools and earned a five-star rating.

Academic results are strong across all three tested subjects and grades. Average proficiency was 66.4% in English language arts, 57.2% in mathematics, and 72.6% in science—well above Utah averages of 44.5%, 41.0%, and 52.2%, respectively. Science is the school’s clearest strength, with grade-level results ranging from 71.3% to 74.9%. The school is competitive with the area’s top performers: Clayton Middle ranked 6th statewide and had stronger math results, while Wasatch Junior High ranked 8th and had a similar ELA profile. Butler Middle had stronger science performance but lower ELA results. Ecker Hill’s ranking has also improved substantially, from 67th in 2022–2023 to 10th in 2025–2026.
The clearest academic opportunity is sixth-grade math, at 46.2%, compared with 63.8% in seventh grade and 61.7% in eighth grade. Attendance is another area to watch: chronic absenteeism was 21.4% in 2024–2025, better than Utah’s 23.8% but higher than rates at North Summit Middle, Wasatch Junior High, and Butler Middle. Subgroup effectiveness is especially strong for special education and English Learner students, while low-SES results, though improved to the 50th percentile, remain less consistent. Overall, Ecker Hill combines broad academic strength, recent improvement, and a notably low student-teacher ratio.
