Aspen School

Q: Is Aspen School a good school?

Aspen School ranks 145 th of 561 Utah elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Aspen School is an elementary school in Orem, Utah, serving 421 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Alpine School District, which is ranked 26 out of 98 districts in the state.

Aspen School consistently outperforms the Alpine District and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Aspen School's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (69.5%) and Mathematics (69%) were significantly higher than the district (53.7% and 55%) and state (46.7% and 49.1%) averages. The school has a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 25% of Utah elementary schools, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 23.6 students per teacher.

While Aspen School outperforms the district and state, some nearby schools within the Alpine District, such as Parkside Elementary and Windsor School, have significantly lower academic performance and statewide rankings. Aspen School's spending per student is on par with these nearby schools, suggesting that factors beyond funding, such as school leadership and instructional practices, are driving the school's success.

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.
