Heartland School

Summary:

Heartland School is an elementary school in West Jordan, Utah, serving 438 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. It is part of the Jordan School District, which is ranked 52 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Heartland School consistently underperforms compared to the Jordan District and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in RISE/English Language Arts ranged from 13.6% for 6th grade to 35.2% for 3rd grade, significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 58.22% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. As a result, Heartland School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking of 514 out of 561 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, Heartland School's academic performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools, such as Westland School and Grant School, which are both higher-performing and have higher rankings from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Heartland School's spending per student ($10,535 in 2018-2019) is higher than the state average, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be the solution to the school's academic challenges.

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.
