Shoreline Middle School, Provo

The short answer

Shoreline Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7 and 8 in the Provo City School District, on the west side of Provo, Utah. It is the newest secondary campus in the district, opened for the 2024 to 2025 school year to replace the aging Dixon Middle School, which closed after nearly a century in service. Shoreline welcomed just over 800 former Dixon students into the new building at 1201 West 890 South. Under the current feeder pattern, Shoreline Middle students continue on to Provo High School.

The Dixon to Shoreline change

If you are researching this part of Provo, you may still see Dixon Middle School on older maps and listing filters. Dixon opened in 1931 and served west-central Provo for more than 90 years. The district voted to replace it, and after the 2023 to 2024 school year Dixon closed and its students moved into the new Shoreline campus near Footprinter Park for 2024 to 2025. Some data providers still carry Dixon’s historical test scores under the Shoreline record, which is one reason the early GreatSchools figure sits low. Because the campus is new, treat its published rating as a work in progress rather than a settled measure, and weigh the building, staff, and boundary alongside it.

How good is Shoreline Middle?

Shoreline Middle currently shows a 3 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, a figure that largely reflects test results carried over from the former Dixon Middle rather than a track record inside the new building. On recent state testing, the predecessor school scored in the lower half of Utah middle schools. The school serves roughly 875 students in grades 7 and 8 at a student to teacher ratio a little below the state average.

A new campus is worth weighing on its own terms. Buyers touring the area often find the building, layout, and programs matter as much as a rating that is still catching up to a school that only opened its doors in 2024. Ask about specific programs and class sections when you visit.

Where Shoreline Middle fits

Shoreline Middle sits in the middle of the west-side Provo school progression. Under the current pattern, the path runs:

• Middle: Shoreline Middle School, grades 7 and 8
• High: Provo High School, grades 9 to 12

West and central Provo elementary schools such as Amelia Earhart, Franklin, Lakeview, Sunset View, and Westridge sit in this part of the city and feed the Shoreline pipeline, though you should confirm any specific address. Because the district opened the new campus and redrew lines in 2024, treat any elementary or high school pairing as a starting point, not a guarantee. The Provo City School District boundary locator checks any specific address. You can also explore the wider market on our Provo area page.

Homes in the Shoreline Middle boundary

The Shoreline Middle boundary covers west and central Provo, a broad mix of established single-family neighborhoods, older cottages near the city center, and pockets of newer construction toward the west side. That range means the housing options are wide, from starter townhomes and condos up to larger single-family homes.

Because the boundary spans both settled and changing 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 Provo search, Shoreline is an easy one to feel good about touring. It is the district’s newest secondary building, and it serves a real slice of the city where prices still range from approachable to established. The catch is the same one that applies across Provo right now: attendance lines here moved when the new campus opened, and a published rating that leans on the old Dixon scores does not yet reflect the new school. When you find a home you like, we will confirm its exact middle and high school boundaries before you write an offer.
