The data also reveals significant disparities in student outcomes across Orem's schools, with some institutions struggling to achieve proficiency levels as low as 20-30%. These differences may be linked to factors such as socioeconomic status, as indicated by the wide range of free and reduced lunch rates, from 12.57% at Lumen Scholar Institute to 67.31% at Parkside Elementary. The data suggests that the Utah County Academy of Science charter school model may be an effective approach to improving student outcomes, while also highlighting the potential benefits of investing in early childhood education programs, as seen in the strong performance of some elementary schools.
