Copper Hills School

Summary:

Copper Hills School is an elementary school in Magna, Utah, serving 479 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Granite School District. The school has seen a shift in its racial demographics, with the percentage of Hispanic students increasing from 35.53% in 2020-2021 to 49.69% in 2022-2023, while the percentage of White students has decreased from 57.46% to 44.47% during the same period.

Copper Hills School consistently performs below the Granite District and Utah state averages in RISE test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 23.6% to 33.9%, compared to the Granite District's 33.7% to 34.8% and the state's 44% to 48.3%. Similarly, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were between 10.3% and 35.9%, while the Granite District and Utah state averages were higher. Additionally, Copper Hills School has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 60.33% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the school's consistently low performance, Copper Hills School has shown some signs of progress, with slight improvements in certain grade-level test scores over the past few years. The nearby schools in the Granite School District, such as Whittier School, West Valley School, and Hillside School, also perform below the state averages in academic assessments, with proficiency rates similar to or slightly higher than Copper Hills School. This suggests that the academic challenges faced by Copper Hills School are not unique and may be a broader issue within the district.

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.
