Summary:
The city of Taylorsville, Utah is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools in the area, with Bennion Junior High and Calvin S. Smith School standing out as the top performers, while Taylorsville High School, Eisenhower Junior High, and Arcadia School struggle with lower test scores.
The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as John C. Fremont School, generally having the lowest test scores. However, the alternative Vista School demonstrates strong performance, particularly in Science and Mathematics, suggesting that innovative educational approaches can foster student success.
The data also highlights significant funding discrepancies, with Hartvigsen School spending nearly $80,000 per student, compared to the other schools in the Granite District which spend between $7,445 and $9,777 per student. This raises questions about the equity of resource allocation and its potential impact on educational outcomes.
