Promontory School of Expeditionary Learning

Summary:

Promontory School of Expeditionary Learning is a public charter elementary school serving 449 students in grades K-8 in Perry, Utah. Despite its unique educational approach, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state averages and nearby schools on academic assessments.

According to the key insights, Promontory School's proficiency rates on the RISE assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics range from 25.5% to 41% and 11.1% to 41.2%, respectively, which are significantly lower than the state averages of 42.4% to 48.3% in ELA and 35.6% to 49.9% in Math. The school has also been ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools for the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. When compared to nearby schools in the Weber and Box Elder school districts, such as Lomond View School, Orchard Springs, and Three Mile Creek School, Promontory School's academic performance is significantly lower.

The key insights also reveal that Promontory School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 29.69% to 35.63% over the past three school years, which is higher than the state average. This suggests that the school may be serving a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which could be a contributing factor to its underperformance. However, further investigation into the school's educational model, resources, and support systems would be necessary to fully understand the reasons behind its consistently low academic achievement.

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.

What a disappointment this place is. Questionable policies, procedures on a whim, the Policy-of-the-day seems to be put into place by whatever random person seems to be answering the phone that day. I've only dealt with administration, that's enough to stop us at the door. We'll look elsewhere. 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.
