Wendover High

Wendover High serves 185 students in grades 7-12 in the small border community of Wendover, Utah. With 13 full-time equivalent teachers, the school maintains a favorable 14.2:1 student-teacher ratio, allowing for more personalized attention in the classroom. The school has earned recognition for its performance, receiving a 7.4 out of 10 rating from MySchoolScout and ranking #84 out of 1,018 schools statewide, placing it in the 92nd percentile among Utah schools.

This strong ranking is particularly noteworthy given the school's rural location and the economic challenges facing the community. Wendover High serves a diverse student body in a community where the median household income is $41,989 and median home values are $172,700. The school operates in an area where 22.4% of residents live below the poverty line, and only 9% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher, making the school's academic achievements all the more impressive.

Located on Wildcat Boulevard in this remote town of just over 1,100 residents, Wendover High provides educational opportunities in one of Utah's most isolated communities, right on the Nevada border where the vast desert landscape shapes daily life.

With an enrollment of 185 students, Wendover High is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
