Summary:
The city of Delta, Utah has only one high school, Delta High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Located in the Millard District, Delta High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 29th out of 139 Utah high schools in 2022-2023 to 72nd out of 138 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with students performing above the state average in English Language Arts but below average in Mathematics and Science.
Delta High School has a student population of 592 and a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 41.55% in 2023-2024. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $15,490, which is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is 21.5 to 1, slightly higher than the state average. However, the school's 4-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 was 88.8%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate for the same year was 9.4%, which is higher than the state average.
The high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% in 2023-2024 is a significant concern and may be impacting the school's overall academic performance. While the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest that the school has access to resources, the declining performance and other metrics indicate a need for further investigation and targeted interventions to help Delta High School improve and better serve its student population.
