Here are the new school grades for Wasatch Front high schools, listed in order for 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.
Statewide, the number of high school earning an A grade was cut roughly in half, while the number of high schools earning an F grade doubled.
The drop in grades does not necessarily reflect a drop in performance, as test scores are up statewide. Instead, the decline is primarily due to recent changes to the school grading law that make the grades more difficult to achieve when more than 65 percent of schools achieve an A or B grade level.
A total of 6 high schools received an A grade, down from 14 last year. They are: Itineris Early College High, Northern Utah Academy for Math, Engineering and Science (NUAMES), InTech Collegiate High School, Mountain Crest High, Success Academy at Southern Utah University and the Utah County Academy of Science (UCAS).
Fifty-four high schools received a B, 48 received a C, 13 received a D. Twenty high schools received an F, up from 10 that earned a failing grade last year.
School grades assign each Utah public school a single letter grade based on student scores on the SAGE computer adaptive test, graduation rates and ACT performance.
Schools with fewer than four grades listed are new schools, and the grades shown represent the most recent years that a grade was given.
