Summary:
ZIP code 84648, serving Nephi and the surrounding area, has one high school: Juab High, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 897 students. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, families cannot compare it with another local high school; the most useful comparisons are with the Juab District, Utah statewide averages, and the school’s recent results.
Juab High has several notable strengths. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 98%, matching the district and exceeding Utah’s 89.8% rate. The reported dropout rate was 2.3% in 2023–2024, while chronic absenteeism was 17.1% in 2024–2025—better than Utah’s 23.8%, though higher than the district’s 14.5%. The school also made a substantial improvement in statewide ranking, moving from the 13th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 52nd percentile in 2025–2026 and rising from one star to three stars. These results suggest strong student persistence and meaningful recent progress.
Academic performance improved in every reported Aspire Plus subject and grade from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Mathematics was the clearest strength: 10th-grade proficiency reached 41.1%, 11.7 percentage points above Utah, after rising 23.9 points in one year. Ninth-grade mathematics and 10th-grade science also exceeded the state. English Language Arts remains the main area for attention, especially 9th grade, where 33.2% of students were proficient compared with 45.4% statewide; 10th-grade ELA was much closer to the state average. Families should also note the 25.6 student-teacher ratio and that the reported $9,375 per-student spending figure is from 2018–2019, making it historical rather than current. Overall, the school shows strong graduation outcomes and encouraging academic momentum, with literacy and attendance as important priorities.
