Arcadia School

Summary:

Arcadia School is an elementary school located in Taylorsville, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 447. The school is part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 72 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arcadia School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Utah elementary schools, with proficiency rates in RISE assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 59.06% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This low-socioeconomic status ranking places Arcadia School in the bottom 10% of Utah elementary schools.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 20.3 in the 2022-2023 school year, which is lower than the nearby schools. This suggests that the school may have adequate staffing resources, but the persistent academic underperformance indicates that the allocation and utilization of these resources may need to be re-evaluated to better support student learning.

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.
