At the secondary level, Hillcrest Junior High shows promising ninth-grade mathematics and science results, although its 35% chronic absenteeism rate is a major concern. Murray High had a strong 2024–2025 grade 10 ELA result but experienced a sharp ranking and assessment decline the following year. Granite Connection High has the area’s most serious graduation and dropout challenge, while Utah Virtual Academy has a higher graduation rate but generally weaker recent assessment results. Overall, attendance, elementary literacy and math, Murray High’s recent decline, and Granite Connection’s completion rates deserve the closest attention.
