Merit College Preparatory Academy


Summary:

Merit College Preparatory Academy is the sole public charter high school located in Springville, Utah, serving students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a mix of racial and ethnic backgrounds, and a significant proportion of students from low-income families as indicated by the high free/reduced lunch rate.

Academically, Merit College Preparatory Academy has struggled to maintain consistent performance, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly in recent years, from 47th out of 131 Utah high schools in 2021-2022 to 106th out of 138 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it serves a diverse student population and has a relatively high per-student spending of $7,734 in the 2018-2019 school year. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.1 to 1 in the 2022-2023 school year suggests a relatively small class size. However, the school's declining test scores and volatile statewide ranking may warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to these challenges.
