Summary:
ZIP code 84120 has one listed public high school, Hunter High, serving grades 9–12 in West Valley City; it is a large school in the Granite District with 2,480 students.
Hunter High has a mixed performance profile. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 84.5%, higher than the Granite District rate of 80.3%, but below Utah’s 89.8%. Its dropout rate of 15.2% was also better than the district’s 18.4%, although it remained well above the statewide rate of 8.5%. These results suggest that many students do complete high school, but a significant group still leaves before graduating. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 24.4:1, and 53.06% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. Because there is only one high school in the ZIP code, families cannot make a direct local school-to-school comparison.
The biggest concerns at Hunter High are attendance and academic achievement. Chronic absenteeism was 34.5%, higher than both the district’s 30.6% and Utah’s 23.8%. In 2025–2026, proficiency was below district and state levels in every reported subject and grade. Mathematics was weakest, averaging 11.8% proficiency across grades 9 and 10, while English Language Arts averaged 22.4% and science 18.7%. The school ranked near the bottom statewide for three straight years, at about the fourth percentile. Science showed some improvement, especially in 10th grade, but math and most English results declined. Parents may want to ask about attendance supports, ninth-grade transition programs, math instruction, tutoring, and how the school is addressing persistent achievement gaps.
