Summary:
ZIP code 84097 has one listed high school, Orem High, serving grades 10–12 in Orem and enrolling about 1,225 students in the Alpine District. The school offers a relatively large high-school setting, with 23.6 students per teacher and 21.31% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Since there is only one high school in the ZIP code, families are best served by looking at Orem High’s results over time and comparing them with district and Utah averages.
Orem High shows strong student-completion results. In 2024–25, its graduation rate was 94.5%, higher than the Alpine District rate of 92.7% and the Utah rate of 89.8%. Its dropout rate was also favorable at 3.7%, compared with 5.7% in the district and 8.5% statewide. These figures suggest that most students remain enrolled and graduate. However, chronic absenteeism is a concern: 24.5% of students were chronically absent, above both the district’s 20.8% and the state’s 23.8%. Families may want to ask about attendance supports, counseling, and ways the school helps students keep up after missed classes.
Academic results were mixed and declined notably in 2025–26. The prior year, Orem High exceeded district and state mathematics proficiency, and its science results were slightly above the state average. In 2025–26, however, proficiency fell to 41.8% in English language arts, 26.5% in mathematics, and 29.9% in science—below both comparison groups in every subject. Science showed the largest gap, while mathematics had the lowest proficiency rate. The school’s ranking also fell from the 73rd percentile in 2023–24 to the 28th percentile in 2025–26. Overall, Orem High’s high graduation and low dropout rates are important strengths, but attendance and the recent decline in academic achievement deserve close attention.
