Best Public Schools in Duchesne, UT

Summary:

The city of Duchesne, Utah is home to two schools: Duchesne School, an elementary school serving grades PK-6, and Duchesne High, a high school serving grades 7-12. Both schools are part of the Duchesne District, which is ranked 68th out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Duchesne School has seen improvements in its statewide ranking, moving from 349th out of 551 Utah elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 280th out of 561 in 2023-2024, with a 3-star rating. However, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the Duchesne District and Utah state averages. In contrast, Duchesne High has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 83rd out of 139 Utah high schools in 2022-2023 to 104th out of 138 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating.

The data suggests a significant disparity in academic performance between the elementary school and the high school, with the high school consistently underperforming compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, the higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the elementary school compared to the high school may indicate that the elementary school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be a contributing factor to the academic performance differences between the two schools. The higher per-student spending at the high school compared to the elementary school may also suggest a need to re-evaluate the distribution of resources to ensure equitable funding across all grade levels.
