Box Elder Middle

Summary:

Box Elder Middle is a public secondary school in Brigham City, Utah, serving grades 8-9 with a total enrollment of 1,153 students. The school is part of the Box Elder School District, which is ranked 57th out of 98 districts in the state.

Academically, Box Elder Middle excels in mathematics and science proficiency, with 8th-grade students outperforming the district and state averages. However, the school struggles in English Language Arts, with 8th-grade proficiency rates lower than the district and state. For 9th-grade students, the school's performance is mixed, with higher scores in English Language Arts but lower scores in mathematics and science compared to the district and state.

Interestingly, Box Elder Middle serves a student population with a slightly higher socioeconomic status than the nearby Bear River Middle, as indicated by a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's per-student spending is lower, and its student-teacher ratio is higher than Bear River Middle, suggesting fewer resources per student. These factors may contribute to the school's academic strengths and weaknesses.

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.
