Summary:
ZIP code 84058 has one high school, Utah County Academy of Science, serving grades 9–12 in Orem, Utah, with about 510 students. Because it is the only high school in the area, there are no local school-to-school comparisons; the most useful benchmarks are statewide results and the school’s performance over time. The school is associated with the Utah County Academy of Science district.
Utah County Academy of Science is a standout academically. It ranked first among Utah schools in the most recent ranking information and has consistently placed at or near the top statewide. In 2025–2026, proficiency rates ranged from 74.8% to 93.8% across ninth- and tenth-grade English language arts, mathematics, and science. The strongest result was tenth-grade English language arts at 93.8%. Compared with Utah averages, the school was ahead by roughly 31 to 46 percentage points in every reported subject and grade. Mathematics was the school’s lowest-scoring subject, but its results still greatly exceeded statewide performance.
The school also reports strong completion and attendance outcomes. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 98.0%, compared with 89.8% statewide, while chronic absenteeism was 6.4%, far below Utah’s 23.8%. A historical 2021–2022 dropout rate of 2.0% was also favorable, although it is from a different year than the available statewide dropout figure. Parents may want to watch the 12.1-point decline in ninth-grade English language arts and the modest mathematics decreases from the prior year, even though results remain excellent overall. The reported student-teacher ratio is 24.3 to 1, and free/reduced-price lunch participation is 19.61%; these figures provide context but do not by themselves explain the school’s performance.
