Silver Summit’s public schools outscore 78% of Utah districts

46% of students in Silver Summit’s public schools are proficient in math, above the Utah average (39%). The grade covers the public school district serving Silver Summit, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Utah, not nationally.

From Utah state tests taken in spring 2021, when nearly all of students in the tested grades sat them, and the class of 2023’s four-year graduation rate, as reported to the U.S. Department of Education.
