Its four-year graduation rate has remained relatively stable, ranging from 83.1% to 88.8%, which is on par with nearby Union High and Duchesne High.

Academically, Altamont High's test scores are generally lower than the Duchesne District and state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

While Altamont High's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $12,668, higher than the nearby schools, the school's overall performance suggests that addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable access to resources could be crucial for improving student outcomes.
