Funding

How Utah funds schools

Utah funds districts through the Minimum School Program, built on the Weighted Pupil Unit (WPU): the Legislature sets a single dollar WPU value each year — $4,674 for FY2026 — and each student generates WPUs weighted for grade level and programs such as special education and career-and-technical education. Districts contribute a mandated basic property-tax levy and the state fills the gap to guarantee the funded amount per WPU regardless of local wealth.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for San Juan District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

Utah publishes the Utah School Report Card, reporting academic achievement, growth, English-learner progress and, for high schools, graduation and postsecondary readiness rather than a single letter grade. Look up San Juan District on the Utah School Report Card.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

Utah requires its secondary schools to be accredited by a regional body — in practice Cognia — while the Utah State Board of Education sets the state-specific assurances the accreditor enforces (Administrative Rule R277-410). Look up San Juan District in the free Cognia registry.
