Summary

Clarke N. Johnsen Junior High is a public school in Tooele, Utah, serving 840 students in grades 7–8. It is part of Tooele District and is larger than nearby Grantsville Junior High and Tooele Junior High. The school’s latest statewide ranking places it at the 31st percentile, below the state midpoint but above Tooele Junior High.

One of Clarke N. Johnsen’s clearest apparent strengths is its reported attendance: chronic absenteeism was 0.4% in 2024–25, compared with 27.0% across Tooele District and 23.8% statewide. Because the rate is dramatically lower than those reported by Grantsville Junior High and Tooele Junior High, families may want to confirm that attendance definitions and reporting procedures are consistent. Academically, the school is generally close to its district averages but usually below state averages. In 2025–26, notable results included 8th-grade science at 49.7%, above the district and close to the state, while 7th-grade ELA was 31.0% and 7th-grade science was 33.9%.

The main concern is the sharp year-over-year decline in several subjects. Math proficiency fell 7.0 points in 7th grade and 10.7 points in 8th grade, while 7th-grade science fell 13.7 points. This likely contributed to the ranking decline from the 55th percentile in 2024–25 to the 31st percentile in 2025–26. Clarke generally outperformed Tooele Junior High and was mixed against Grantsville Junior High, but trailed higher-performing Fort Herriman Middle. Hispanic-student and English-learner subgroup results were relative strengths, while the low-SES subgroup ranked at the 29th percentile. Families may wish to ask how the school is addressing recent math and science declines, supporting economically disadvantaged students, and maintaining its unusually strong attendance.
