Schools in Zip Code 84017

Schools in ZIP code 84017 include three public schools in the North Summit District, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade: North Summit School for grades K–4, North Summit Middle for grades 5–8, and North Summit High for grades 9–12. Together, they enroll about 1,043 students in a generally strong district ranked 17th of 92 Utah districts.

North Summit Middle is the strongest overall performer by current statewide ranking, placing 27th of 217 schools in the 88th percentile. It also has the area’s best attendance, with only 6.5% chronic absenteeism, and the highest average across its reported test results. Science is a particular strength, with proficiency ranging from 63.7% to 73.8% across grades 5–8. However, its results declined from an exceptional prior-year ranking of fourth, especially in mathematics. North Summit High ranks 26th of 139 schools and stands out for mathematics: 58.1% of 10th graders were proficient, compared with 29.4% statewide. It also reports an 89.8% graduation rate, a 7.1% dropout rate, and lower absenteeism than both the district and state.

North Summit School ranks 168th of 563 elementary schools and performs above state averages in its available mathematics and science results. Grade 3 and Grade 4 math proficiency is about 61%, while Grade 4 science reaches 63.6%. Its main concern is attendance: chronic absenteeism is 27.5%, substantially higher than the district’s 14.9% and the state’s 23.8%. Across all three schools, science is a consistent strength, while the middle and high schools offer the strongest overall academic and attendance profiles. Parents comparing the schools should view the elementary attendance rate and the middle school’s recent achievement decline as the most important issues to investigate.
