Summary

Career Technical High School is a 592-student alternative school serving grades K–12 in Saint George, Utah, within the Washington District, which ranks 42nd among Utah’s 92 districts. The school has a 17:1 student-teacher ratio, smaller enrollment than nearby traditional schools, and a career-focused model that makes direct comparisons important to interpret cautiously.

One of the school’s clearest strengths is attendance. Chronic absenteeism was 9.7% in 2024–25, well below the Washington District rate of 15.4% and Utah’s 23.8%. It was also much lower than rates at Hurricane High (24.9%), Hurricane Middle (26.5%), and Snow Canyon Middle (26.8%). The rate improved from 23.0% in 2021–22 to 9.7% in 2024–25. The school also reported stronger 2025–26 achievement than the district and state in every measured grade and subject. Proficiency reached 69.7% in 9th-grade English language arts, 76.9% in 10th-grade English language arts, 75.2% in 9th-grade science, and 77.9% in 10th-grade science.

Mathematics is positive but less distinctive: proficiency was 52% in 9th grade and 38.6% in 10th grade, only 1.6 percentage points above the district for 10th grade. The 10th-grade math result also declined from 44.4% the previous year, making it the clearest improvement priority. Compared with Hurricane High, the school posted higher 2025–26 proficiency in ELA and science and had a much lower student-teacher ratio (17:1 versus 26.5:1). Overall, the available data point to especially strong attendance, literacy, and science outcomes, while graduation and dropout results were not provided.
