Summary:
Delta, Utah, has four public schools serving about 1,947 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in the Millard District, with elementary grades divided between Delta South School and Delta North School, followed by Delta Middle and Delta High.
Delta High is the strongest overall performer and has shown the most improvement. It ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide, rising 49 positions from the prior year, and its current ELA, mathematics, and science results exceed state averages. Its graduation rate is 92.8%, and its 6.6% chronic absenteeism rate is the lowest among the four schools. Delta Middle is more mixed but has notable strengths, especially eighth-grade mathematics, where 55.2% of students are proficient compared with 39.3% statewide. Its chronic absenteeism rate is also relatively low at 8.5%. These secondary schools appear to offer the most consistent academic and attendance results in the area.
The elementary schools have more significant areas for improvement. Delta North School performs well in fourth-grade mathematics and science, but its third- and fourth-grade ELA results are below state averages, and its ranking has declined in recent years. Chronic absenteeism is 18.9%. Delta South School, serving pre-kindergarten through first grade, has limited testing data but reports the highest absenteeism rate at 23.0%. For families comparing schools, the main priorities across the area are strengthening early literacy, improving elementary attendance, supporting middle-school mathematics and science, and maintaining the strong recent momentum at the high school.
