Robert Frost School

Summary:

Robert Frost School is an elementary school in West Valley City, Utah, serving 355 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Granite School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (39.72%) and Pacific Islander (4.23%) students compared to nearby schools. However, Robert Frost School's academic performance, as measured by RISE test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects.

For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 23.2%, compared to the Granite District's 34.4% and the state's 46.7%. The school's 6th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate of 50% in 2023-2024 was higher than the Granite District's 22.2% but still lower than the state's 35.6%. Additionally, Robert Frost School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.66% to 60.44% over the past three school years, which is higher than some nearby schools like West Kearns School (76.12%) and Jackling School (71.15%).

The school's statewide ranking among Utah elementary schools has steadily declined over the past several years, from 377 out of 572 in 2018-2019 to 349 out of 561 in 2023-2024, suggesting that its academic performance has not kept pace with improvements seen in other schools across the state. While Robert Frost School has a more diverse student population, its academic performance is generally lower than nearby schools, such as David Gourley School, which have higher proficiency rates in several subjects and grade levels. Addressing these challenges could help Robert Frost School improve its academic outcomes and better serve its community.

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.
