Summary:

Greenwood School is an elementary school located in American Fork, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 928 students. While the school is part of the Alpine School District, which is ranked 26th out of 98 districts in Utah, Greenwood School itself has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking between 308th and 400th out of 509-572 Utah elementary schools over the past several years.

Greenwood School stands out for its relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.47% to 43.43% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 21.1 in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the nearby schools, which range from 16.8 to 31.2 students per teacher. However, Greenwood School's academic performance, as measured by RISE test scores, is generally lower than the Alpine District and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

When comparing Greenwood School to the nearby schools within the Alpine District, such as Deerfield School, Shelley School, and Barratt School, it becomes evident that Greenwood School is underperforming academically, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points lower. This trend suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to help improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with the surrounding high-performing schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
