Summary:
The city of Delta, Utah is home to 4 schools - 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school - all part of the Millard District. The data reveals that Delta Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Utah, achieving high proficiency rates in core subjects and maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio. Meanwhile, Delta High School has also earned strong rankings, with particularly high proficiency in English Language Arts, though it spends significantly more per student compared to the elementary schools.
Across the district, the schools have relatively high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 39.26% to 41.97%, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The student-teacher ratios vary, with Delta Middle having the lowest at 19.7, followed by Delta High at 21.1 and the elementary schools at 22.0 and 21.8.
While the data shows the academic strengths of Delta Middle and Delta High, it also reveals potential funding disparities within the district, with the high school spending significantly more per student than the elementary schools. This may have implications for the resources and opportunities available to students at different grade levels. Additionally, the schools in Delta have a predominantly white student population, with Hispanic students making up the next largest racial group, which warrants further investigation into the district's efforts to promote diversity and inclusion.
