Aspen Elementary

Summary:

Aspen Elementary is a public elementary school in South Jordan, Utah, serving students from kindergarten to 6th grade. With a diverse student population, 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.

While Aspen Elementary's overall student performance, as measured by the RISE assessments, is generally lower than the Jordan District and Utah state averages, the school's Hispanic students perform relatively well, ranking 7 out of 49 Utah elementary schools in English Language Arts (ELA) with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's performance is lower than nearby schools like Herriman School and Eastlake School, which have higher student proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science.

Aspen Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (21.34% in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools, which may be a contributing factor to the school's lower overall performance. The school's more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial students, is an interesting aspect that warrants further analysis to understand the factors influencing student success at Aspen Elementary.

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.

Open Quote New school but it has been a bit of a transition. This is our third school in this area, so I am just comparing between them.

I have three kids in different grades here and it seems like things are run pretty poorly. I have seen multiple times this year teachers crying in the halls, and it feels like everyone is on the verge of breaking. Maybe it is from Covid or the brand new principle is struggling. I am not really sure, but as our group of parents say, try walking around after school and you will feel it.

Teachers are nice and at least speaking from my three seem to be comparable, it just feels like they are rushing through things at paces that make it hard to learn and experience the skills.

It has a feeling like everyone is exhausted and burnt out here. Hopefully this changes as the leadership team gains some experience. That way next year it doesn't have such a depressing vibe for a school. Close Quote

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.
