Hidden Hollow School

Q: Is Hidden Hollow School a good school?

Hidden Hollow School ranks 149 th of 561 Utah elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Hidden Hollow School is an elementary school located in Eagle Mountain, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 1,124 students. The school is part of the Alpine School District, which is ranked 26th out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hidden Hollow School consistently performs above the state and district averages in RISE assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 54.2% to 58.9% in ELA, 43.2% to 69.2% in Math, and 55.2% to 64.7% in Science, outperforming the state and district averages. The school's performance has been relatively stable over the past few years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 124th to 184th out of 551-561 Utah elementary schools. However, some nearby schools, such as Black Ridge School and Ranches Academy, demonstrate even stronger academic performance.

While Hidden Hollow School outperforms the state and district averages, it has a relatively low percentage of minority students compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Eagle Valley School and Silver Lake Elementary. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it serves a more affluent population compared to some of the nearby schools. However, the school's high ranking for low socioeconomic status students indicates that it is effectively serving this population and helping them achieve academic 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.

Mr. Tillman is an amazing principal. Despite the fact that HH is one of the biggest schools in the district, he has gathered a fantastic team of excellent teachers (one teacher told me he is the best principal she has ever worked for). Mr. Crandall is an extraordinary 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Cunningham holds a fantastic balance of discipline and approachability, and Mrs. Peterson makes my twins enjoy learning. We are moving out of state, and Hidden Hollow is one of the things I'll miss most. Close Quote

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.
