Success DSU

Summary:

Success DSU is a public charter high school located in St. George, Utah, serving grades 10-12 with around 300 students. The school consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state, outperforming nearby public high schools like Desert Hills High, Crimson Cliffs High, and Snow Canyon High on academic assessments.

Success DSU's strong academic performance is reflected in its 10th-grade students outperforming the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the Utah Aspire Plus assessments. The school has a higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby public high schools, which may present challenges in providing personalized attention and support to each student. Additionally, Success DSU has relatively low rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting it may serve a more affluent student population compared to the nearby public high schools.

While Success DSU's student population is predominantly White, the school has a more diverse student body compared to many of the nearby public high schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and Asian students. This diversity may contribute to a richer learning environment and better prepare students for the diverse world they will encounter after graduation. Overall, Success DSU stands out as a high-performing charter school with a strong academic track record, though the school may need to explore strategies to maintain its excellence while addressing its higher student-teacher ratio.

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.
