In 2017, the district had a total of 264 students, with 78 students in the high school division, including 25 students in grade 12. Due to the decline in enrollments, in January 2017, the Charter Oak–Ute district and the MVAO district entered into a grade-sharing arrangement in which one district sends its students to another district for certain grade levels. As a result, the Charter Oak–Ute high school closed. MVAO High School was renamed MVAO-COU High School. Charter Oak–Ute will pay MVAO tuition costs.
