Summary

Grantsville Junior High is a public school serving about 550 students in grades 7–8 in Grantsville, Utah, a smaller community in the Tooele District. The school ranks 122nd out of 217 Utah middle schools, placing it in the 44th percentile with a two-star rating. That is ahead of nearby Clarke N. Johnsen Junior High, at the 31st percentile, and Tooele Junior High, at the 26th percentile. Grantsville’s ranking is comparatively strong locally, although it remains below the statewide midpoint.

Mathematics is the school’s clearest strength, especially in eighth grade. In 2025–2026, 58.4% of eighth graders were proficient in math, compared with 39.3% statewide, 44.1% at Tooele Junior High, and 36.7% at Clarke N. Johnsen Junior High. Grantsville also led both nearby schools in seventh-grade math. English language arts results were more mixed: seventh-grade performance led the local comparison schools but trailed Utah overall, while eighth-grade ELA was below both nearby schools and the state. Science results were also below state averages in both grades, despite some improvement in eighth grade.

Attendance is the school’s most significant concern. Chronic absenteeism rose from 17.1% in 2020–2021 to 34.7% in 2024–2025, exceeding both the Tooele District rate of 27.0% and the Utah rate of 23.8%. This level of missed instruction may make it harder to improve ELA and science. Grantsville’s student-teacher ratio of 19.4 is higher than Tooele Junior High but lower than Clarke N. Johnsen Junior High. Overall, the school offers a notable math advantage and outperforms its nearby peers, but stronger attendance and broader academic gains are needed for higher statewide performance.
