Academically, Dixie High's performance on the Utah Aspire Plus assessments is generally below the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science was 42.8%, 22.7%, and 31.9%, respectively, compared to the district averages of 53.7%, 34%, and 46.8%, and the state averages of 44.6%, 27.5%, and 33.8%. This academic performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with some fluctuations but generally remaining below the district and state averages. Additionally, Dixie High's performance on these assessments for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is particularly concerning, with the school ranking 62nd out of 72 Utah high schools for Hispanic students and 51st out of 93 high schools for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
Compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Crimson Cliffs High and Desert Hills High, Dixie High generally performs worse academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. This suggests that Dixie High may need to examine the practices and strategies employed by its higher-performing counterparts to identify areas for improvement and address the challenges that are contributing to its lower rankings compared to nearby schools.
