Summary:
ZIP code 84511, serving Blanding, Utah, has one high school: San Juan High, which serves grades 5–12 and enrolls about 425 students. As the only high school in the area, it offers families a single local option within the San Juan District. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 17.9 to 1, and about 56% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Its overall profile is mixed but encouraging: graduation and dropout results are slightly better than Utah averages, while academic performance varies considerably by subject and grade.
For 2024–2025, San Juan High had a 90.5% graduation rate, compared with 89.8% statewide, and a 7.1% dropout rate, better than Utah’s 8.5%. Attendance is a concern, however: 28.7% of students were chronically absent, well above the statewide rate of 23.8%, though better than the district’s 32.3%. In 2025–2026, the school outperformed the San Juan District in every reported Aspire Plus subject and grade. It was especially strong in 10th-grade English Language Arts, with 52.3% proficiency, and 10th-grade science, with 49.4%, both above state results.
Parents should know that mathematics remains the school’s main academic challenge. Only 28.1% of ninth-graders and 27.8% of tenth-graders were proficient in math, although both results improved from the prior year. Ninth-grade results were also below the state in English Language Arts and science, while tenth-grade performance was generally stronger. Overall proficiency averaged 39.7%, about 2 points below Utah but 11.6 points above the district. The school’s recent statewide ranking was near the middle of Utah schools, so it is not among the state’s top-ranked campuses, but its strong completion rates and performance above district averages are important positives. Key priorities are improving ninth-grade support, strengthening math, reversing recent ELA declines, and reducing chronic absenteeism.
