Summary:

Copper Mountain Middle is a public middle school in Herriman, Utah, serving 1,085 students in grades 7-9. The school 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.

Copper Mountain Middle's academic performance has declined over the years, with proficiency rates in RISE/English Language Arts, RISE/Mathematics, and RISE/Science generally lower than the Jordan District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. The school's performance on the Utah Aspire Plus assessment for 9th-grade students is also below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Copper Mountain Middle's statewide ranking has dropped from 11th out of 209 Utah middle schools in 2015-2016 to 134th out of 210 in 2023-2024.

However, the school has some bright spots, such as the exceptional performance of English Language Learner students, who ranked 5th out of 46 Utah middle schools in 2021-2022. Additionally, Copper Mountain Middle has a more diverse student population compared to the surrounding schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students. While this diversity presents both challenges and opportunities, the school should continue to address the unique needs of its student body and work to ensure equitable opportunities for all students.

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.
