Summary:
ZIP code 84109 has two middle schools, Wasatch Junior High and Evergreen Junior High, both part of the Granite District; Wasatch serves grades 6–8, while Evergreen serves grades 6–9, and the schools differ substantially in academic results, enrollment, attendance, and student needs.
Wasatch Junior High is the clear academic leader in the area. It ranked 8th out of 217 Utah schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 96th percentile with a five-star rating. Its average proficiency across reported grades and subjects was about 66.3%, compared with 48.4% at Evergreen Junior High. Wasatch outperformed Evergreen in every tested grade and subject, including English language arts, mathematics, and science. Its strongest result was 8th-grade science, with 73.7% of students proficient. Wasatch also had lower chronic absenteeism, at 12.7%, compared with Evergreen’s 16.7%, and ranked among Utah’s highest-performing schools in each of the past three years.
Evergreen Junior High has several positive indicators despite lower overall results. Mathematics was its strongest area relative to the state, with performance above Utah averages in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade; its 7th-grade mathematics proficiency was 53.6%. Evergreen also improved from the previous year in average mathematics and science results and had a lower student-teacher ratio than Wasatch, 23.9 compared with 25.6. However, Evergreen has a higher reported free/reduced-price lunch rate and lower statewide ranking, placing 89th out of 217 schools in 2025–2026. Families prioritizing broad academic performance and school ranking will likely view Wasatch as the stronger option, while Evergreen’s mathematics results, recent improvement, and smaller student-teacher ratio may be important considerations.
