Panguitch High

Summary:

Panguitch High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the small town of Panguitch, Utah, with a student population of 159 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with some subject areas outperforming the Garfield School District and state averages, while others fall behind. Panguitch High's statewide ranking and rating have fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 4 stars to as low as 0 stars on SchoolDigger.

One notable aspect of Panguitch High School is its lack of racial diversity, with over 90% of the student body identifying as White. This is significantly lower than the state average for racial diversity. Additionally, the school has seen varying free and reduced lunch rates, suggesting a diverse socioeconomic background among its students.

While Panguitch High School has demonstrated strengths in certain academic areas, the school faces challenges in maintaining consistent performance and stabilizing its statewide ranking and rating. The school's administration may need to focus on improving overall academic outcomes and addressing the needs of its diverse student population to provide a well-rounded educational experience for all learners.

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.
