Oakridge School

Summary:

Oakridge School is an exceptional elementary school in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Granite School District. With consistently high academic performance, Oakridge has been ranked within the top 20 elementary schools in Utah for several years and earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakridge School significantly outperforms the Granite District and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 83.3% of 3rd graders at Oakridge were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.4% for the Granite District and 46.7% for the state. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 21.1 to 25 students per teacher over the past three school years, lower than many nearby schools.

While Oakridge School has a homogeneous student population, with a majority of students identifying as White, the school's exceptional academic performance and low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 5.75% to 6.58% over the past three years, suggest that the school is providing a high-quality education to its students. These factors, combined with the school's consistent ranking as one of the top-performing elementary schools in Utah, make Oakridge School an exceptional choice for families in the Salt Lake City area.

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.
