High Schools in San Juan District

Summary:

The San Juan District in Utah is home to 5 high schools serving grades 9-12: San Juan High, Whitehorse High, Monticello High, Monument Valley High, and Navajo Mountain High. The data reveals significant differences in academic performance and resource allocation across these schools.

Monticello High stands out as the top performer, with the highest historical statewide ranking and the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Whitehorse High and Monument Valley High lag behind the district and state averages in test scores. The district also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, ranging around 23.8%.

The data also highlights disparities in resource allocation, with Navajo Mountain High, the smallest school with just 27 students, spending the most per student at $41,998. This suggests the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to these differences and the development of targeted strategies to support all students in the San Juan District.
