Summary:
Grand District has one listed high school, Grand County High, serving grades 9–12 in Moab, Utah. The school enrolls 469 students, has a student-teacher ratio of 15.2 to 1, and reports that 36.89% of students participate in free or reduced-price lunch programs. Because it is the district’s only high school, there are no local high-school comparisons; statewide results and year-to-year changes provide the most useful context.
Grand County High showed broad academic improvement in 2025–2026, with higher proficiency in all six reported grade-subject areas. Its strongest result was 10th-grade English language arts, where 55.6% of students were proficient compared with 48.2% statewide. Tenth-grade English and math each improved by more than 17 percentage points from the previous year. Even so, five of the six latest results remained below Utah averages. Mathematics is the clearest academic concern: proficiency was 22.3% in ninth grade and 25.9% in 10th grade, compared with 39.4% and 29.4% statewide. Ninth-grade English and both science results also trailed state performance.
Parents should also pay close attention to attendance and completion outcomes at Grand County High. Chronic absenteeism affected 39.1% of students, well above Utah’s 23.8%, while the 13.4% dropout rate exceeded the statewide 8.5% rate. The graduation rate was 85.8%, compared with 89.8% statewide. These figures suggest that regular attendance, early ninth-grade support, credit monitoring, and dropout prevention are important priorities. The school’s reported per-student spending of $15,502 is from 2018–2019, so it may not reflect current resources. Overall, the school is improving, particularly among 10th graders, but families should weigh that progress alongside continuing challenges in math, attendance, and graduation outcomes.
