Summary:
The city of La Verkin, Utah has only one school, LaVerkin School, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 411 students. The school is part of the Washington District, which is ranked 35 out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
LaVerkin School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade, only 22.4% of students are proficient or better in ELA, compared to 49.4% for the district and 46.7% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students (53.77%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status among the student population. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($9,010) is lower than the national average, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
Despite these challenges, the school has a student-teacher ratio of 20:1, which is within the typical range for elementary schools. However, this ratio may not be low enough to provide the individualized attention and support that some students may need. Overall, the data suggests that LaVerkin School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation, and further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve educational outcomes for the students.
