Summary:

The city of Blanding, Utah is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Blanding School (an elementary school), San Juan High (a high school), and Albert R. Lyman Middle (a middle school). These schools are part of the San Juan District, which is ranked 68th out of 93 districts in Utah and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Among the three schools, Blanding School stands out with relatively high math and science proficiency rates compared to the district and state, especially in the lower grades. San Juan High also performs well, with a high graduation rate and strong proficiency in English Language Arts and science. However, Albert R. Lyman Middle lags behind in most subject areas compared to the district and state.

A concerning trend across all three schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools have high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 55.87% at San Juan High to 61.69% at Blanding School, suggesting that the Blanding community faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact student performance.
