Summary:
The city of North Salt Lake, Utah, is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 alternative school, all part of the Davis District and the Spectrum Academy district. Among these schools, Wasatch Peak Academy stands out as the top performer, with consistently high rankings, a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, and strong academic performance across all grade levels. In contrast, Foxboro School appears to be the weakest performer, with low statewide rankings and 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger, as well as significantly below-average student proficiency rates on RISE tests.
The data reveals significant variability in the schools' student populations, with Spectrum Academy - NSL having the highest percentage of White students at 79.24%, while Wasatch Peak Academy has the highest percentage of minority students at 32.78%. Additionally, Spectrum Academy - NSL has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 29.47%, while Orchard School has the lowest at 14.1%.
The spending per student and student-teacher ratios also vary significantly across the schools. Spectrum Academy - NSL has the highest per-student spending at $13,742 and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 11.2, suggesting a focus on individualized attention and support for its students. However, this high spending and low ratio do not necessarily translate to better academic performance, as Wasatch Peak Academy, the top-performing school, has a lower per-student spending and higher student-teacher ratio than Spectrum Academy - NSL.
