North Davis Preparatory Academy

Summary:

North Davis Preparatory Academy is a public charter school in Layton, Utah that serves students from kindergarten to 9th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that has shifted over the past few years.

North Davis Preparatory Academy's test scores, as measured by the RISE and Utah Aspire Plus assessments, are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 39.7% compared to the state average of 46.7%. Similarly, the school's 6th grade Math proficiency rate was 15.1% compared to the state average of 35.6%. The school also has a higher percentage of students qualifying for free and reduced-price lunch compared to nearby charter schools, with 25.52% of students eligible in the 2022-2023 school year. However, North Davis Preparatory Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 20 students per teacher, which is lower than the ratios at many nearby charter schools.

When compared to the nearby charter schools, such as Ogden Preparatory Academy, Davinci Academy, Quest Academy, Ascent Academies of Utah Farmington, and Highmark Charter School, North Davis Preparatory Academy generally performs worse on standardized tests, has a higher percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, and has a lower student-teacher ratio. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges in supporting its diverse student population and improving academic outcomes.

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.
