St. George Academy

Summary:

St. George Academy is a public charter high school located in Washington, Utah, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 223 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 71.75% White, 21.52% Hispanic, 2.69% Asian, and smaller percentages of other racial groups.

Academically, St. George Academy has had a mixed performance compared to the state and nearby schools. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in 9th grade English Language Arts (37.8%), Mathematics (20%), and Science (36.4%) were all below the state averages. However, in the 2021-2022 school year, the school's proficiency rates in 10th grade English Language Arts (51.2%) and 9th grade English Language Arts (55.8%) were higher than the state averages. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated, ranging from 90th out of 139 Utah high schools in 2022-2023 (2 out of 5 stars) to 32nd out of 131 in 2021-2022 (4 out of 5 stars). This variability in ranking and rating suggests the school's performance may be inconsistent compared to other high schools in the Washington District.

One notable difference between St. George Academy and some nearby schools is the school's relatively low free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 5.95% to 12.56% over the past three school years. This is significantly lower than schools like Millcreek High (46.25%) and Pine View High (32.9%), indicating a lower percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Additionally, St. George Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.7 to 15.9 over the past three school years, which is lower than the ratios of many nearby schools, such as Snow Canyon High (24), Utah Online 7-12 (23), and Crimson Cliffs High (26.6), suggesting a potentially more personalized learning environment.

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.
