Summary

Tooele Junior High is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Tooele, Utah, with 805 students. The school is part of the Tooele District, which is ranked 73 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Tooele Junior High has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Utah middle schools over the past several years, typically in the 150-180 range out of around 210-220 schools.

Academically, Tooele Junior High's performance, as measured by RISE test proficiency rates, is consistently below the Tooele District and Utah state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 7th grade math proficiency rate was 36%, compared to 41.4% for the district and 45.4% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in English Language Arts, with 7th and 8th grade proficiency rates around 22-27%, compared to 29-35% for the district and 41-42% for the state. Tooele Junior High has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.1% to 31.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Tooele Junior High's performance is generally lower than the nearby Grantsville Junior High and Clarke N. Johnsen Junior High, which are also part of the Tooele District. This suggests the challenges facing Tooele Junior High may be specific to the school rather than the broader district. Overall, Tooele Junior High appears to be a struggling school that needs to address a variety of academic, attendance, and equity-related issues in order to improve student outcomes and performance.
