Judge Memorial Catholic High School issued the following announcement on May 11.
We are incredibly honored to announce that Judge Memorial has once again been ranked among the top-300 high schools in the United States in the 2022 Challenge Index, the nation’s oldest high school ranking system, run by columnist Jay Mathews of The Washington Post. What’s more, Judge’s 213 ranking places us in the top 1 percent of all American high schools — the only high school in Utah to earn that designation.
The Challenge Index is the only list that compares public and private schools and is not based on test scores, which often reflect family income over school quality. Instead, the Index ranks high schools based on the number of Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate tests given at a school each year, divided by the number of seniors who graduate that year. Success on the AP exams, which are written and graded by independent experts, has been linked with success in college.
Continued compliments to our uniquely talented and treasured faculty for your daily dedication. And kudos to our students for your discipline and scholarship while pursuing Judge’s Advanced Placement courses.
