This measure represents the annual percent of Utah high school students who graduate with a regular high school diploma within four years of starting ninth grade. Graduation rates are reported by the Utah State Board of Education (USBE).

Results for this measure are updated annually, upon USBE's publication of High School graduation rates around December.

The established link between health and education highlights that post-secondary education often leads to better job prospects, higher income, improved health literacy, and fewer chronic illnesses. Conversely, individuals who do not complete high school or only graduate high school face a higher risk of adverse health outcomes, including obesity, heart disease, lung disease, mental health issues, and premature mortality. Furthermore, high school dropouts are also more likely to be incarcerated. Given the significant intersection between the education system and the juvenile justice system, and although the USBE provides this as a broad population metric annually, educational outcomes are a crucial consideration for assessing the overall health of Utah's youth.
