Westlake High

Q: Is Westlake High a good school?

Westlake High ranks 30 th of 138 Utah high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Westlake High is a public high school located in Saratoga Springs, Utah, serving grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 2,659 students. As part of the Alpine School District, which is ranked 26th out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, Westlake High is known for its consistent academic excellence.

Westlake High's 10th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science consistently exceed the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 10th-grade proficiency rates were 53.6% in ELA, 34% in Mathematics, and 40.6% in Science, compared to the state averages of 44.6%, 27.5%, and 33.8%, respectively. Westlake High's performance is particularly strong in ELA, where it consistently ranks in the top 10 among Utah high schools for Hispanic students and in the top 40 for White students. Despite having a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (11.66%), the school ranks highly (top 14 in 2023-2024) among Utah high schools for the performance of its low-socioeconomic status students.

While Westlake High has consistently been ranked in the top 40 among Utah high schools by SchoolDigger, with a 4-star rating in most years, its student population is less racially diverse compared to nearby schools, such as Lone Peak High, American Fork High, and Cedar Valley High. This may present both challenges and opportunities in terms of fostering an inclusive environment and addressing the needs of diverse learners.

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.
