Summary:
The Grand District in Utah has only one elementary school, Helen M. Knight School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with 68.72% White, 22.81% Hispanic, and 6.01% Native American students.
Helen M. Knight School is underperforming compared to state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics proficiency, with proficiency rates ranging from 30.3% to 43.4% in ELA and 25.9% to 40.9% in mathematics across different grade levels. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools over the past three years and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. However, the school's science proficiency rates in 4th and 6th grade are more promising and could be an area to build upon.
The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (48.91%) suggests a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the challenges the school faces in improving academic performance. Additionally, the school's rural location and slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 16.7 may also be factors that impact the level of individual attention students receive.
