How good is Lakeridge Junior High?

Lakeridge Junior High earns a 5 out of 10 GreatSchools rating and ranks in the top half of Utah middle schools for test scores, performing above average compared with Utah schools serving the same grades. Ratings and scores vary between GreatSchools, Niche, and the state, so treat any single number as a snapshot rather than the last word.

The school serves roughly 1,340 students at a student to teacher ratio of around 25 to 1, which is typical for a large Orem junior high. Class sizes at this level tend to run larger than in elementary school, so if smaller classes are a priority for your family, ask about specific grade and subject sections when you tour.

Where Lakeridge Junior High fits

Lakeridge Junior High sits in the middle of the south Orem school progression. Nearby elementary schools, including Cherry Hill and Westmore, sit in the same part of the city and feed the Lakeridge pipeline. From Lakeridge, most students continue on to Mountain View High School for grades 10 to 12. Utah County high schools do not have their own detail pages on this site yet, so explore the wider market on our Orem area page.

One change worth knowing about: Utah County voters approved splitting the Alpine School District into three smaller districts beginning with the 2027 to 2028 school year. Orem is slated to join the new Timpanogos School District, alongside Lindon, Pleasant Grove, and Vineyard. School assignments and boundaries are expected to carry over at first, but governance and future boundary decisions will move to the new district, so it is worth watching if you are buying with a multi-year horizon.

Because the district has redrawn lines over the years, treat any elementary or high school pairing as a starting point, not a guarantee. Confirm your exact boundary with the Alpine School District before you rely on a feeder.

Homes in the Lakeridge Junior High boundary

The Lakeridge boundary covers a broad slice of south Orem, a mix of established neighborhoods near Main Street and settled streets toward the west side of the city. That range means the housing options are broad, from townhomes and starter homes up to larger single-family properties.

Because the boundary spans a range of areas, prices vary widely from block to block, and the mix of active listings shifts month to month. Rather than quote a range that goes stale quickly, we would rather pull a current, address-specific snapshot for you.

A local broker’s take

If schools are steering your Orem search, Lakeridge Junior High is a reassuring junior high to land inside. It is the largest in the city, it tests in the top half of the state, and it feeds Mountain View High.
