Summary:
The 84001 zip code in Utah is home to two schools: Altamont School, an elementary school, and Altamont High, a high school. While Altamont School consistently ranks in the top half of Utah elementary schools with a 3-star rating, Altamont High maintains a similar 3-star rating but with generally lower test scores compared to the Duchesne District and state averages.
Altamont School stands out for its strong academic performance, with significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to the district and state. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 58.6% in ELA and 63.5% in Math, well above the district averages of 39.2% and 41.4%, and the state averages of 46.7% and 49.1%. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting a relatively affluent student population.
In contrast, Altamont High School's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in Math and Science. The school spends more per student than Altamont School, but this higher spending does not appear to translate to better academic outcomes. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be a contributing factor to their academic performance.
