How good is Hunter Junior High?

Hunter Junior High earns a 3 out of 10 GreatSchools rating. That figure leans heavily on state test scores, and Hunter serves a largely working-class community where many students are still learning English. Read the rating with that context in mind, since it reflects the tested population as much as the classroom.

The school leans on a strong Hawk culture built around the motto that each Hawk SOARS, along with Gifted and Talented options and a student body that mirrors one of the largest cities in Utah. Class sizes run near the Granite junior high norm, roughly 24 students per teacher.

Where Hunter Junior High fits

Hunter Junior High sits in the middle of the west-side school progression. Under the current Granite pattern, the path runs:

• Elementary: neighborhood schools such as Hunter, Academy Park, and West Valley, grades K to 5
• Junior high: Hunter Junior High, grades 6 to 8
• High: Hunter High School, grades 9 to 12

Granite has redrawn junior high and high school lines in recent years, and some nearby addresses can route to Granger High School instead.

Enrollment and ratios reflect the most recent published figures and are approximate. Granite moved sixth grade to several junior highs, including Hunter, starting in the 2025 to 2026 school year, so some third-party listings still show older grade spans. Ratings and boundaries change over time, so verify any specific address before relying on it.
