Granger School

Summary:

Granger School is an elementary school in West Valley City, Utah, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade as part of the Granite School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students and significant percentages of other racial/ethnic groups.

Granger School consistently performs below the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. The school has been ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Utah, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% over the past decade. Granger School's performance is particularly low for its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low socioeconomic status student subgroups. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Granger School's performance is concerning, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement. The school's performance for its Hispanic and English Language Learner student subgroups is not as low as its overall ranking, indicating that targeted interventions and support for these populations could potentially lead to better outcomes. Nearby schools within the Granite School District, such as Hillsdale School, Redwood School, and Taylorsville School, have higher proficiency rates and better rankings than Granger School, suggesting that there may be opportunities to learn from their approaches.

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.
