Kings Peak High

Summary:

Kings Peak High is a public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in West Jordan, Utah, with a student population of 256 as of the 2022-2023 school year. 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 Kings Peak High has a lower student-teacher ratio of 17.5 compared to nearby schools like Bingham High (24.5) and West Jordan High (23.4), its academic performance lags behind. The school's test scores are generally lower than the Jordan District and state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with particularly low proficiency in Math and Science. Additionally, the school's free/reduced lunch rate of 19.92% is lower than nearby schools like Taylorsville High (42.35%).

As a virtual school, Kings Peak High may face unique challenges in student engagement and academic performance compared to traditional brick-and-mortar schools. The analysis suggests the school has room for improvement, particularly in addressing its underperformance in Math and Science, and may need to consider strategies to support student success in a virtual learning environment. Comparing the school to its higher-performing neighbors, such as Itineris Early College High, provides valuable insights for potential areas of focus and improvement.

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.
