Duchesne School

Summary:

Duchesne School is an elementary school in Duchesne, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 442 students. While part of the Duchesne District, which is ranked 68 out of 98 districts in the state, Duchesne School's academic performance is generally below the state average and lags behind the nearby Altamont School.

Duchesne School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as measured by RISE test scores, are lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 280 and 490 out of 509-572 schools, placing it in the lower-performing category compared to other elementary schools in Utah. Duchesne School also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 21.5 to 25.5 students per teacher, which is higher than the 19.4 students per teacher at Altamont School.

Another notable factor is the high percentage of students at Duchesne School who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.41% to 54.3% in recent years. This is significantly higher than the 42.9% rate at Altamont School, indicating that Duchesne School may face socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student learning and academic achievement. The school's performance has generally declined over the past few years, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and a closer examination of the factors contributing to its challenges.

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.
