Summary:

Blackridge School is an elementary school in Herriman, Utah, serving 941 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Jordan School District, which is ranked 52 out of 98 districts in the state.

Blackridge School consistently outperforms 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, Blackridge School's proficiency rates in 3rd-6th grade English Language Arts ranged from 51.2% to 53.9%, compared to 43.9% to 47.8% for the district and 46.7% to 48.3% for the state. The school has a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 25-30% of Utah elementary schools, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 22.5 to 22.8 students per teacher.

While Blackridge School outperforms the nearby schools in academic metrics, some other schools in the Herriman area, such as Herriman School, also demonstrate impressive performance, ranking in the top 10% of Utah elementary schools. This suggests the Herriman area has a concentration of high-performing schools, and Blackridge School's success may be attributed to factors such as its low student-teacher ratio and lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to the surrounding schools.

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.
