Summary:
The city of Helper, Utah is home to two schools - Sally Mauro School, an elementary school, and Helper Middle School. These schools serve students in the Carbon District.
Helper Middle School appears to be the stronger performer of the two, consistently ranking higher among Utah middle schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages in several key test score metrics, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. In contrast, while Sally Mauro School has a lower 2-star rating, its performance has been improving, with its ranking among Utah elementary schools rising from 355th in 2021-2022 to 219th in 2023-2024, and its test scores in several subjects approaching or exceeding the district and state averages.
Both schools have room for improvement in Mathematics, with scores generally below the district and state averages. Additionally, the data suggests a potential correlation between higher spending per student, lower student-teacher ratios, and stronger academic performance at Helper Middle School. This could be an area for further exploration to understand the impact of resource allocation on student outcomes.
