Ute reservation school first in state to fall victim to 'No Child Left Behind' standards
by Julia Lyon
If the goal of No Child Left Behind is to shut down the worst schools in America, then the federal government has scored its first success in Utah. After seven years of failing to meet testing and attendance requirements West Middle School in Fort Duchesne is shutting its doors. The roughly 120 students will leave a school almost entirely populated by members of the Northern Ute tribe to attend schools that are nearly exclusively white.
