Summary:
The San Juan District area includes five high schools serving grades 5–12, with about 1,155 students combined. Four schools are in southeastern Utah—San Juan High, Whitehorse High, Monticello High, and Monument Valley High—while Navajo Mountain High is a very small school in Arizona. School sizes range from 24 students at Navajo Mountain to 425 at San Juan, so percentages and comparisons should be interpreted with enrollment differences in mind.
Monticello High has the strongest overall academic profile, with notably high middle-school reading, mathematics, and science results, lower economic-need measures than the other Utah schools, and chronic absenteeism close to the state rate. San Juan High has the strongest current high-school profile: its testing results exceed district figures in every reported subject, its graduation rate is 90.5%, and its dropout rate is 7.1%. Mathematics is a challenge at both schools, especially compared with state results. Parents may also note that recent school-level rankings are not available for every campus, making long-term comparisons incomplete.
Whitehorse High has the lowest current chronic absenteeism rate among the schools with comparable data and previously reported strong graduation results, but its latest test scores are among the weakest. Monument Valley High also reports low test performance, along with a graduation rate below district and state benchmarks and a higher dropout rate. Navajo Mountain High offers a very small-school setting, but current graduation, dropout, and testing data are limited. Overall, families may want to compare academic programs, attendance support, school size, and available services directly, since graduation and test results do not always tell the same story.
