Mountain Sunrise Academy

Summary:

Mountain Sunrise Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 507 students in grades K-8 in Saratoga Springs, Utah. While the school has a predominantly White student population, its academic performance consistently lags behind the state and nearby Alpine District public schools.

Mountain Sunrise Academy's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools in recent years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. In comparison, nearby public schools like Sego Lily School and Dry Creek School consistently outperform Mountain Sunrise Academy on standardized tests and have higher statewide rankings.

The relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Mountain Sunrise Academy suggests that the school may serve a more affluent population compared to some of the neighboring schools. This socioeconomic factor could be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance, and further analysis may be warranted to understand the relationship between socioeconomic status and student outcomes at the school.

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.
