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.
