Summary:
Duchesne District in Utah has four high schools serving 1,921 students: Union High serves grades 9–12, while Duchesne High, Altamont High, and Tabiona High serve grades 7–12. School sizes vary considerably, from 1,166 students at Union to just 74 at Tabiona. Overall, the district ranks 67th of 92 Utah districts, and the schools show different strengths in academics, graduation, attendance, and staffing.
Altamont High has the strongest current overall profile. It ranks highest among the four schools and reports the best exact 10th-grade results in English, mathematics, and science. Its 10th-grade English proficiency is 45.2%, compared with 34.4% districtwide, and its chronic absenteeism rate is 16.0%, well below the district’s 31.0%. Tabiona High has the area’s best attendance rate, with only 6.3% chronic absenteeism, and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.4. However, its small enrollment and limited current graduation and assessment data make direct comparisons less certain.
Duchesne High reports the highest graduation rate at 84.8% and especially strong 8th-grade results, but its chronic absenteeism remains high at 27.3%, and its high-school mathematics and science results are uneven. Union High serves most district students and therefore has the greatest influence on districtwide outcomes. Its main concerns are a 25.0 student-teacher ratio, an 80.2% graduation rate, a 16.0% dropout rate, and relatively weak English performance. Across the district, improving attendance, mathematics achievement, and dropout prevention appear to be the most important priorities.
