Lake Ridge School

Summary:

Lake Ridge School is an elementary school located in Magna, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 422. The school is part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 72 out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Lake Ridge School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Utah elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lake Ridge School consistently underperforms compared to the Granite District and state averages on RISE assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 9.8% of 3rd graders, 13.5% of 4th graders, 19.7% of 5th graders, and 15.8% of 6th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the Granite District averages of 34.4%, 32.4%, 34.8%, and 33.7%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 59.24% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average.

While Lake Ridge School underperforms compared to the district and state averages, some of the nearby schools, such as Elk Run Elementary and Magna School, also struggle academically and have similar demographic profiles. This suggests that the challenges faced by Lake Ridge School may be systemic within the Granite School District and the broader Magna community. However, the school's diversity and the potential for improvement, as seen in the higher proficiency rates of 6th graders in 2021-2022, indicate that with the right strategies and targeted interventions, Lake Ridge School could make meaningful progress in supporting the academic and personal growth of its students.

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.
