Summary:
Mountain Sunrise Academy is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Mountain Sunrise Academy District, located in Saratoga Springs, Utah. With a total enrollment of 507 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year.
The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as its test scores are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 20.8% (3rd grade) to 39.6% (5th grade), compared to the state averages of 46.7% to 48.3%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 11.6% (5th grade) to 21.4% (3rd grade), compared to the state averages of 44.4% to 49.9%. This poor academic performance is reflected in the school's low ranking, which placed it 524 out of 561 elementary schools in Utah for the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's struggles, it has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 5.33% for the 2022-2023 school year. The school's student-teacher ratio is 26.2 for the 2022-2023 school year. These factors suggest that the challenges faced by Mountain Sunrise Academy may be more complex than just resource allocation, and may require a comprehensive review of the school's curriculum, teaching practices, and overall management and leadership to improve the educational outcomes for its students.
