High Schools in Emery District

The Emery District in Utah is home to two high schools: Emery High and Green River High. Emery High is the larger and higher-performing of the two, with a student population of 642 and a 3-star statewide ranking from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Green River High has a much smaller student body of 70 and a lower 1-2 star rating.

The two schools serve very different student demographics, with Emery High having a predominantly White student population (94.86%) and Green River High having a significantly higher percentage of minority students, including 55.71% Hispanic and 1.43% African American. Despite the differences in student population, Green River High has a much lower student-teacher ratio of 6.6, compared to 18.5 at Emery High, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.

Academically, Emery High outperforms the Emery District and the state of Utah in most subject areas on the Utah Aspire Plus assessments, with 10th-grade proficiency rates ranging from 32% to 43.5% in 2023-2024. However, Green River High's test score data is not provided, making it difficult to assess its academic performance. Additionally, Green River High spends significantly more per student ($18,556) compared to Emery High ($12,282), which may be due to its smaller student population and the need to maintain facilities and staffing for a smaller school.
