Summary:

Lone Peak School is an exceptional elementary school located in Sandy, Utah, serving 580 students in grades K-5. As part of the highly-ranked Canyons School District, Lone Peak School has consistently been among the top-performing elementary schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Lone Peak School's academic performance is truly remarkable, with students consistently outperforming the Canyons District and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, 75.9% of 3rd graders at Lone Peak School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to just 51.9% for the Canyons District and 46.7% for the state. Additionally, the school's spending per student is on the lower end at $7,310, suggesting that Lone Peak School is using its resources efficiently and effectively to support student learning.

While Lone Peak School's academic achievements are undoubtedly impressive, the school's student population is relatively homogeneous, with a majority (over 80%) of students identifying as White. This is in contrast to some of the nearby schools, such as Alta View School and Sprucewood School, which have more diverse student populations. Furthermore, Lone Peak School has a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at around 8-9% in recent years, significantly lower than the nearby schools.

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.
