Daggett County School Districts
-
Daggett School District is located in Daggett County Utah, nestled against southern Wyoming and western Colorado. About 80% of the land is administered by the US Forest Service or the Bureau of Land Management. Daggett County has the smallest population (<900) in Utah, and our district, with approximately 160 students, is likewise the smallest in the state. Like other rural Utah counties, we are experiencing a declining population. Nevertheless, Daggett County is a wonderful place to grow up or raise a family. Our three schools are Manila Elementary, Flaming Gorge Elementary and Manila Jr-Sr. High School. In addition to all school-age children from Daggett County, we serve students from McKinnon and Washam Wyoming, areas which lie just north of the state line. Despite the small size of our communities and schools, we have invested heavily in the future of our children by infusing each classroom with technology and by recruiting highly qualified teachers and support personnel. We are committed to educating our young people to the best of our ability. Students use computers in nearly every class and across the curriculum. The student to computer ratio at present is about 1.5 students per computer in the elementaries, and 1 computer per student in the high school. Our teaching staff is small but competent; secondary teachers have multiple teaching endorsements. We offer a curriculum designed to meet Utah and national standards along with many opportunities for students to individualize and excell.
