Summary:
ZIP code 84042, which includes Lindon, has one high-school-level school: Karl G. Maeser Preparatory Academy, serving grades 7–12 with 656 students. The school reports a 17.5:1 student-teacher ratio, and its combined middle- and high-school structure means families will find students in both RISE and Utah Aspire Plus testing grades.
Karl G. Maeser Preparatory Academy has a notably strong academic profile. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were higher than statewide results in every reported grade and subject. Average proficiency was about 65%, compared with roughly 44% statewide. English language arts was the strongest overall subject, averaging 73%, while mathematics averaged 59% and science 63%. The strongest individual result was 10th-grade mathematics, with 75.3% of students proficient compared with 29.4% statewide. The main area to watch is mathematics in grade 8, where proficiency was 44%, and grade 9 results, which were lower than grade 10 in all three subjects. Even so, the school remained above state averages.
The school also stands out for its overall consistency. It has a five-star rating, a current listing in the 93rd percentile, and historical rankings among Utah’s top four schools. Its 2024–2025 chronic absenteeism rate was 7.8%, far below the 23.8% statewide rate, which suggests that students are regularly present for instruction. Earlier reported figures also showed a 93.8% graduation rate and a 6.2% dropout rate, although those school-level figures are from 2021–2022 and are not directly comparable with the newer statewide data. Families should also note the school’s relatively low reported free/reduced-price lunch participation of 7.62% when considering its results and student population context.
