Doxey School

Summary:

Doxey School is an elementary school located in Sunset, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 301 students. Despite being part of the Davis School District, which is ranked 34 out of 100 districts in Utah, Doxey School consistently performs below the district and state averages in academic assessments.

Doxey School's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 21.6% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50% for the Davis District and 45.3% for the state. In mathematics, the proficiency rate is even lower, at just 9.7%, compared to 38.6% for the district and 35.4% for the state. This consistent underperformance has resulted in Doxey School ranking in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking of 549 out of 561 schools in the 2022-2023 school year, and maintaining a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade.

While Doxey School struggles academically, some nearby schools, such as Parkside School and Syracuse Arts Academy - North, demonstrate stronger academic performance and higher statewide rankings. Additionally, Doxey School has a higher percentage of White students (70.1%) compared to nearby schools, and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (38.21%), which may be contributing factors to its academic challenges. The school's declining enrollment and shifting demographics suggest the need for a comprehensive review of its educational practices and strategies, as well as potential collaboration with higher-performing schools to identify and implement effective approaches to support student learning and success.

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.
