Monticello Academy Highbury Leads Nearby Schools in Math Across Grade Levels

Monticello Academy Highbury is proud to share strong 2025 math results across multiple grade levels, with students posting the highest math performance among nearby comparison schools in early math, elementary math, and junior high math.

For families in West Valley City, Magna, Kearns, and Taylorsville, these results show what academic success can look like at Highbury: strong early foundations, continued achievement in elementary school, and impressive outcomes in junior high.

Highbury Leads Nearby Schools in Early Math

Highbury’s math strength starts early. On the 2025 Acadience Math assessment (grades K-3), 84.1% of Highbury students scored at or above benchmark, the highest result among nearby comparison schools.

That result also came in well above the Utah state average of 62.6%.

Early math performance matters because it reflects the foundational skills students need for long-term success: number sense, fluency, confidence, and readiness for more advanced concepts in later grades. Highbury’s Acadience Math results show that students are building those foundations at a high level.

Highbury Leads Nearby Schools in Elementary Math

Highbury also posted the highest nearby result in 2025 RISE Math for grades 3–6, with 45.8% of students scoring proficient.

That places Highbury above the Utah state average of 44.1% and ahead of nearby comparison schools.

Strong elementary math performance matters because these are the years when students deepen their understanding of operations, problem-solving, and mathematical thinking. Highbury’s results show that students are not just learning procedures. They are building the skills needed to succeed as math becomes more complex.

Highbury Leads Nearby Schools in Junior High Math

In 2025 RISE Math for grades 7–8, Highbury again posted the highest nearby result, with 53.4% of students scoring proficient.

That result is well above the Utah state average of 44.0%.

Junior high math is an important indicator because students are expected to apply prior learning to more abstract concepts and multi-step problem solving. Highbury’s strong junior high results show that students are continuing to perform at a high level as they move into the upper grades.

Why Monticello Academy’s Math Results Stand Out

At Monticello Academy Highbury, math is part of a larger instructional approach that emphasizes conceptual understanding, fact fluency, problem-solving, and higher-order thinking.

Highbury has used Singapore Math as part of its academic model from the beginning. Teachers are trained to help students understand why math works, not just memorize steps. That kind of instruction helps students build both confidence and long-term mastery.

Highbury also works to reinforce math throughout the school environment, helping students engage with numbers, patterns, and fluency practice throughout the day. It is one more way the school makes math part of the culture, not just part of the class schedule.
