High Schools in South Summit District

The South Summit District in Utah is home to two high schools: South Summit High and Silver Summit Academy. South Summit High is the larger and more established of the two, with 518 students compared to Silver Summit Academy's 97 students.

South Summit High generally performs better than the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 53.8% of 10th graders and 40% of 9th graders scoring proficient or better. However, the school lags behind in Mathematics proficiency, with only 22.1% of 10th graders and 14.8% of 9th graders scoring proficient or better. South Summit High also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 19.88%, compared to Silver Summit Academy's 6.19%.

While South Summit High has a longer history of statewide rankings and ratings, the data shows a concerning trend of declining performance, with the school's ranking dropping from 34th out of 131 high schools in 2021-2022 to 84th out of 138 in 2023-2024. This suggests the need for the school and district to closely examine the factors contributing to this decline and implement strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in the area of Mathematics proficiency.
