Millard District

The Millard District in Utah encompasses 9 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 28th out of 93 districts in Utah and rated 4 out of 5 stars, but there is significant variation in performance among the individual schools.

The standout schools in the district are Millard High, which ranks 16th out of 138 Utah high schools and is rated 4 out of 5 stars, and Fillmore Middle, which ranks 47th out of 182 Utah middle schools and is also rated 4 out of 5 stars. These schools have strong test scores and high graduation rates. In contrast, Delta Middle and Delta High perform in the top third of Utah schools but lag behind the top performers.

One concerning trend across the district is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%, which is likely impacting student learning and achievement. Additionally, the data does not show a clear correlation between per-student spending and school performance, with the high-performing Millard High spending less per student than the lower-performing Delta High. The tiny Eskdale High, with just 19 students, highlights the challenges of operating small rural schools, spending an extremely high $43,183 per student.
