Summary

Gunnison Valley High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 332 students in Gunnison, Utah. The school is part of the South Sanpete School District, which is ranked 33 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gunnison Valley High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 45th out of 138 high schools in 2024-2025 to as low as 117th out of 136 in 2018-2019. The school's performance on the Utah Aspire Plus assessments has been mixed, with strengths in 10th grade English Language Arts but struggles in 10th grade Mathematics compared to district and state averages. In contrast, the nearby North Sevier High generally outperformed Gunnison Valley High on these assessments.

Gunnison Valley High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.3% to 95.3% in recent years, but has also reported high dropout rates and chronic absenteeism, which are significant issues facing the school. These challenges may be exacerbated by the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, comparable to the nearby Manti High and North Sevier High schools. Addressing these factors could be key focus areas for Gunnison Valley High and the South Sanpete School District to improve student outcomes and educational quality.
