Parkside Elementary

Summary:

Parkside Elementary is a public elementary school in Orem, Utah, serving 621 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Alpine School District. While the school has a diverse student population, with 34.94% White and 58.78% Hispanic students, its academic performance lags behind nearby schools and the district and state averages.

Parkside Elementary's proficiency rates on RISE assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the Alpine District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 39.1% in ELA, 25.3% in Math, and 27.4% in Science, compared to the district averages of 53.7%, 55%, and 57%, respectively. The school's performance has remained relatively stagnant over the past three years.

While Parkside Elementary has a strong performance among its Hispanic student population, ranking 13th out of 45 Utah elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's performance for English Language Learner (ELL) students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is less impressive, ranking 19th out of 25 and 73rd out of 132 Utah elementary schools, respectively, in the same year. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 67.31% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families. Compared to nearby schools like Orem School, which has higher proficiency rates and a higher SchoolDigger ranking, Parkside Elementary faces several challenges in improving its academic performance.

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.

2022	612	28.1	21.7	55.9

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
