Copper Canyon School

Summary:

Copper Canyon School is a public elementary school in West Jordan, Utah, serving 569 students in grades K-6. While the school is part of the Jordan District, which is ranked 52 out of 98 districts in the state, Copper Canyon School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests.

Copper Canyon School's academic performance lags significantly behind nearby high-performing schools like Golden Fields School and Jordan Hills School, which rank in the top 25% and top 15% of Utah elementary schools, respectively. For example, in 2023-2024, Copper Canyon School's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 28.2%, compared to 43.9% for the Jordan District and 46.7% for the state. Additionally, the school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (35.85% in 2022-2023), indicating a higher proportion of students from lower-income families.

Despite these challenges, Copper Canyon School has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (27.59%) and Pacific Islander (4.92%) students. However, this diversity does not seem to translate into higher academic achievement, as the school's performance on standardized tests is consistently lower than the state and district averages. Addressing the academic needs of Copper Canyon School's students through targeted interventions and support could be crucial in improving their educational outcomes.

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.
