Summary

Altamont High is a small public school in Altamont, Utah, serving 273 students in grades 7–12 as part of the Duchesne District. The school is about 15–17 miles from Duchesne High and Union High. Altamont’s latest statewide ranking was 96th out of 139 Utah schools, placing it at the 31st percentile with a two-star rating. That is a modest improvement from the previous year, although well below its 88th-percentile ranking in 2017–2018.

One of Altamont’s clearest strengths is attendance. Its 2024–2025 chronic absenteeism rate was 16.0%, substantially lower than Duchesne High at 27.3%, Union High at 27.2%, the district at 31.0%, and Utah statewide at 23.8%. Academic results vary by grade. Seventh graders outperformed Duchesne High in English Language Arts, mathematics, and science, but grade 8 results were weaker, with performance in the 20–39% range for English Language Arts and mathematics and 40–58% in science. Grade 9 was the biggest concern, particularly in English Language Arts and science, where results were reported in the 10–29% range.

Grade 10 results showed a notable rebound: Altamont exceeded Union High and the district in all three tested subjects, including a 45.2% English Language Arts result. The school also has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.8, compared with 19.3 at Duchesne High and 25.0 at Union High. However, current school-level graduation data are unavailable; the district’s graduation rate was 81.6%, below Utah’s 89.8%, while its dropout rate was 15.4%. Overall, the most important improvement opportunity is helping students successfully transition from grade 8 into grade 9 and remain on track through graduation.
