Guadalupe School

Summary:

Guadalupe School is a public magnet charter elementary school in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving 407 students in grades PK-6. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with over 92% of students identifying as Hispanic in the 2022-2023 school year.

Academically, Guadalupe School struggles, ranking 551 out of 561 Utah elementary schools and earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's RISE test scores are significantly lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 15% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 46.7%. Additionally, Guadalupe School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.45% to 88.41% over the past three school years, and a higher student-teacher ratio of 26.9 compared to nearby schools.

When compared to the surrounding schools, Guadalupe School appears to face unique challenges. The nearby schools, while not high-performing, generally have better academic outcomes, lower free and reduced lunch rates, and more favorable student-teacher ratios. This suggests that targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the specific issues facing Guadalupe School and improve educational outcomes for its students.

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.

Open Quote School has a lot of potential but they have horrible management that doesn't support the staff. Sadly parents don't have a clue what really goes on there. A lot of discrimination. Close Quote

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.
