Which high schools send graduates to Southern Utah University?
The high schools sending the most graduates per class year to Southern Utah University, from each school's own published list: St George'S School (1), Francis Parker School (0.2). 3 high schools' lists name Southern Utah University.
Enrolled — from the schools' matriculation lists
All 3 schools, with the class years each list covers
Published, but not ranked — these schools name Southern Utah University on a list of where their graduates enrolled whose class years we cannot read ("Since 2023", or no class year printed), so their totals are shown rather than divided: Yorba Linda High School (1, not stated).
How this is counted
3 high schools publish a numbered matriculation list — where their graduates actually enrolled, counted, in the school's own School Profile — and name Southern Utah University on it. Between them they printed 3 enrolled graduates. Ranked by graduates per class year enrolling at Southern Utah University, from each school's own published list: the number that school printed, divided by the class years its list covers. The published total and the school's own years label are shown beside every school, so a one-year list and a five-year list can sit on the same page. A list whose class years we cannot read is not divided by a guess — it is listed below with its total instead.
Is my high school on this list?
Admitted — from the schools' acceptance lists
All 1 schools, with the class years each list covers
How this is counted
1 high schools publish a numbered list of college acceptances — where their graduates were admitted, not where they enrolled — and name Southern Utah University on it. Between them they printed 1 admissions. Ranked by admissions per class year to Southern Utah University, from each school's own published acceptances list: the number that school printed, divided by the class years its list covers. Admits are counted at each college a student was admitted to, the same way the UC Reach Score counts a student admitted to three UC campuses three times — so this is a count of admissions, not of students. The published total and the school's own years label are shown beside every school, and a list whose class years we cannot read is listed below with its total rather than divided by a guess.

Counted from each school's own published document, linked on that school's page. A high school that is not here does not publish a numbered list we could read — that is all absence means, and it says nothing about its graduates. Where a school publishes both, the two lists are shown separately: an acceptances list is not a list of enrollments, and the two are never added together.
Parent/student verdict
AccessibleAccessible for most applicants. Major value play for in-state residents.
Best for
- In-state residents (tuition ~$6,962 — major value play)
- Students drawn to Business, Management, & Marketing or Liberal Arts, Humanities, & General Studies (the two biggest majors)
The reality
- Out-of-state tuition is 3.0× the in-state rate
Verdict is composed from this college's structured data (admit rate, SAT bands, net price with aid and at full price, Carnegie classification, scholarship grids) using transparent rule thresholds — not a chat-bot's opinion.

Institutional snapshot
What kind of college is this?

Outcomes & cost
What graduates actually earn, finish, and owe.
Federal College Scorecard data. Earnings are median annual income measured years after entering. Debt is for federal-aid borrowers only (cash-pay students aren't counted).
The real cost
What Southern Utah University actually costs
Which side your family lands on isn't set by any national income line — it's set by Southern Utah University's own aid decision: the gap between its price and your family's finances.
Your odds + estimated cost across your whole college list, side by side.
Source: College Scorecard (average net price among Title IV first-time, full-time undergraduates who received aid) and each college's published cost of attendance. We don't show the federal net-price-by-income brackets: their categories were fixed in 2008 and never adjusted, and none of the averages is your family's own number — the full story. Payoff = (10-yr median earnings × 10) − (4 years of cost), in dollars — how far ahead a typical graduate runs by year ten; medians travel with the students a college admits and the majors they choose as much as with the college itself. Full price is the published cost of attendance, largely in-state for publics; earnings are 10 years after enrollment, all majors combined.

Student body & economic mobility
Who attends here — and what the campus adds.
Opportunity Insights data. It measures two things at once: how many lower-income students a college enrols, and how many of them reach the top earnings quintile later. A high rate says the college does both — it does not establish that the campus caused the earnings, because the students it admits differ from the students it doesn't. Read it as a signal about access and destination, not as proof of value added.
