The area offers a wide range of academic performance, from nationally competitive high school results to elementary schools needing improvement in attendance and mathematics.
Utah County Academy of Science is the strongest overall performer, ranking first among Utah high schools, with a 98% graduation rate, low chronic absenteeism, and exceptionally high proficiency in English, math, and science. Among traditional elementary schools, Orem School has the highest current ranking and broadly strong results across subjects. Noah Webster Academy ranks above average and has improved, although its chronic absenteeism rate is unusually high. Freedom Preparatory Academy - Vineyard has shown one of the largest ranking gains and particularly strong recent math results. Lakeridge Junior High has also improved substantially, with stronger ELA and science performance than math.
Parents comparing schools should pay close attention to attendance and subject-level results, not rankings alone. Westmore School and Cherry Hill School have the greatest combination of lower academic results and high absenteeism. Vineyard School has mixed performance and the highest student-teacher ratio among the conventional elementary schools, while Trailside Elementary has shown positive ranking growth. Mathematics is a recurring weakness across several schools, while science is often a relative strength. The specialized Elizabeth DeLong School of the Deaf and Blind South serve very small, specialized populations and should be evaluated separately from conventional schools.
