Summary:

Muir School is an elementary school located in Bountiful, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 670. It is part of the Davis School District, which is ranked 40 out of 98 school districts in Utah and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Muir School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating it is a high-performing school within the state.

Muir School consistently outperforms the Davis District and Utah state averages in RISE test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, Muir School's 5th-grade students scored 71% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 53% for the Davis District and 48.3% for the state. Additionally, Muir School has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 9.61% to 10.15% over the past three years, significantly lower than the rates at some nearby schools such as Adelaide School (39.14%) and Woods Cross School (23.79%).

Muir School's consistent high performance, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, highlights the quality of education provided at the school. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.45%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, this demographic factor does not necessarily indicate the reasons for the school's success. The lower free and reduced-price lunch rates at Muir School suggest a higher socioeconomic status of its student population, which could be a contributing factor to the school's strong academic performance.

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.
