Westmore School

Summary:

Westmore School is an elementary school in Orem, Utah, serving 525 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Alpine School District, which is ranked 26 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Westmore School faces some significant challenges compared to nearby schools. Its academic performance, as measured by RISE test scores, is consistently lower than the Alpine District and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 26.5% to 41.4%, compared to the district's 50.9% to 56.4% and the state's 44% to 48.3%. Westmore School has also consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Additionally, Westmore School has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 54.86% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average. While the school's diverse racial makeup, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and Pacific Islander students compared to nearby schools, may be a contributing factor, further investigation is needed to identify the root causes of the school's challenges and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.

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.
