Summary:
ZIP code 84029 has one middle school, Grantsville Junior High, serving about 550 students in grades 7–8 in Grantsville, Utah. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP code, there are no local school-to-school comparisons. The school is part of the Tooele District and has a student-teacher ratio of 19.4. Its overall ranking has been fairly steady in recent years, around the 44th–46th percentile statewide, with a two-star rating.
The school’s strongest area is mathematics, especially 8th grade. In 2025–2026, 58.4% of 8th graders were proficient in math, compared with 41.3% in the district and 39.3% statewide. Seventh-grade math was also stronger than the district, at 44.6%. Science results improved in both grades from the prior year, although they remained below Utah averages. English language arts is the clearest academic challenge: proficiency was 34.5% in 7th grade and 34.8% in 8th grade. Seventh-grade ELA was slightly above the district but below the state, while 8th-grade ELA trailed both.
Attendance is another important issue for families to consider. Chronic absenteeism affected 34.7% of students, compared with 27.0% in the district and 23.8% statewide. Frequent absences may make it harder for students to keep up, particularly in subjects where performance is already below state levels. Overall, Grantsville Junior High shows encouraging strengths in mathematics and improving science results, but families may want to ask about literacy support, attendance initiatives, and how the school is sustaining its strong 8th-grade math performance. The reported spending figure of $8,899 per student is from 2018–2019 and should be viewed as historical rather than current.
