Summary:
ZIP code 84001 has one high school, Altamont High, serving grades 7–12 in a small, rural-area school setting with 273 students and a 16.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, there are no nearby in-ZIP school comparisons; the most useful benchmarks are the Duchesne District and Utah statewide results.
Altamont High performs better than the district in most exact 2025–2026 assessment results. Its strongest areas are 7th grade, where proficiency exceeded district results by about 8–9 percentage points in English language arts, math, and science, and 10th-grade English language arts, where it led the district by 10.8 points. The school also exceeded district results in 10th-grade math and science. However, its results remained below Utah averages in each exact comparison. Several 8th- and 9th-grade results are reported as ranges, so those comparisons are less certain. Ninth-grade English language arts and science appear especially weak, with reported ranges entirely below district performance, making the transition into high school an important area for attention.
Attendance is a notable strength: chronic absenteeism at Altamont High was 16.0% in 2024–2025, well below both the district’s 31.0% and Utah’s 23.8%. The school’s ranking improved modestly from the prior year, rising from the 27th to the 31st percentile, but it remains below the statewide midpoint. Current graduation and dropout figures are available for the district rather than the school; the district graduation rate was 81.6%, below Utah’s 89.8%, while its dropout rate was 15.4%, above the state’s 8.5%. Parents may want to focus particularly on 9th-grade support, science instruction, and how the school helps students progress toward graduation.
