Guadalupe School

Guadalupe School is the sole elementary school in the Guadalupe School District, serving grades PK-6 in Salt Lake City, Utah. With a total enrollment of 407 students, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a ranking of 551 out of 561 schools in the most recent school year and a rating of 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Guadalupe School faces significant academic challenges, with student test scores well below the state averages in all subject areas and grade levels reported. For example, in 3rd grade English Language Arts, only 15% of Guadalupe School students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 46.7%. The school also has a high percentage of students (74.45%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 26.9 to 1, which may contribute to the academic struggles.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $10,171, which is slightly higher than the state average, Guadalupe School has been consistently low-performing for several years, with no apparent improvement in its academic performance. This suggests that the school may not be effectively allocating its resources to address the unique needs of its student population and overcome the challenges it faces.
