San Juan High

Summary:

San Juan High is a public high school located in Blanding, Utah, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 428 students. The school is part of the San Juan School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While San Juan High has a diverse student population, with 49.53% White, 39.49% Native American, and 7.24% Hispanic students, the school faces several key challenges. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the Utah Aspire Plus assessments are consistently lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has an exceptionally high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.84% to 101.47% in recent years, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 19.5 to 19.9 in recent years.

However, despite these overall academic challenges, San Juan High has performed exceptionally well in serving its Native American student population, ranking 1 out of 2 and 1 out of 1 Utah high schools in the 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 school years, respectively, for this subgroup. The school has also performed relatively well in serving its low-socioeconomic status (SES) student population, ranking 30 out of 93 and 19 out of 93 Utah high schools in the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 school years, respectively, for this subgroup. These findings suggest that the school may have effective strategies or resources in place to support its Native American and low-SES students, despite the overall academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
