Summary

Snow Canyon High is a public school serving grades 10–12 in the St. George area, with 1,324 students and membership in Washington District.

The school’s biggest concern is its recent academic decline. In 2025–26, it ranked 104th of 139 Utah schools, placing it at the 25th percentile with a 1-star rating—well below its 27th-place, 79th-percentile ranking in 2020–21. Tenth-grade proficiency was 45.3% in English, 19.0% in mathematics, and 31.5% in science, all below district averages. Mathematics is the clearest weakness: Crimson Cliffs High and Desert Hills High posted mathematics proficiency rates of 52.0% and 56.4%, respectively. Snow Canyon also trailed Pine View High and Dixie High in mathematics and science. Science has also shifted from a former strength to a weakness, falling from 42.8% proficiency in 2022–23 to 31.5% in 2025–26.

There are important positives for families. Snow Canyon’s 91.2% graduation rate in 2024–25 was above Utah’s 89.8% rate, and its 5.4% dropout rate was better than the state’s 8.5%. Chronic absenteeism improved to 12.6%, below both the district and state rates. The school serves a more economically diverse population than Crimson Cliffs High and Desert Hills High, so comparisons should be considered in context; however, its results also lag economically more similar nearby schools in several subjects. Overall, parents may want to look closely at mathematics and science support, the sharp recent ranking drop, and whether improving attendance is translating into stronger classroom achievement.
