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.
