Summary:
ZIP code 84001 has two schools serving students from prekindergarten through 12th grade: Altamont School for PK–6 and Altamont High for grades 7–12, with 630 students combined in this small, two-school Duchesne District area.
Altamont School is the stronger academic choice based on the available data. It ranked in the 75th percentile statewide in 2025–26, improving from the 68th percentile two years earlier. Its reported results exceeded Utah averages in every tested grade and subject, including especially strong fourth-grade math at 73.5% and science results near 68%–70% across grades 4–6. The main concern is attendance: 29.4% of students were chronically absent, higher than the 23.8% state rate, although slightly better than the district’s 31.0%. The school enrolls 357 students, has an 18.3 student–teacher ratio, and reports 36.41% free/reduced-price lunch participation.
Altamont High enrolls 273 students and has a lower student–teacher ratio of 16.8, as well as much better chronic absenteeism at 16.0%. It often outperforms the district in tested subjects, but its 2025–26 statewide ranking was at the 31st percentile, below its 53rd-percentile standing in 2022–23. Seventh- and 10th-grade results were generally below state averages, with mathematics and science presenting the clearest challenges; several eighth- and ninth-grade scores are reported only as ranges. Families should also note that current school-level graduation data is unavailable, and older graduation, dropout, and spending figures should not be treated as current.
