Ellis School

Summary:

Ellis School is an elementary school located in Logan, Utah, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 370. It is part of the Logan City School District, which is ranked 67 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Ellis School's statewide ranking has declined, going from a high of 4 stars in 2015-2016 to just 1 star in the current 2023-2024 school year.

Ellis School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with lower test scores and a declining statewide ranking compared to other elementary schools in the area. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the Logan City District and the state of Utah averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in ELA was 20%, compared to 47.1% for the district and 48.3% for the state. Additionally, Ellis School has a higher student-teacher ratio of 23.1 in 2022-2023, compared to the nearby schools, which range from 20.0 to 24.8.

While Ellis School has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (38.11%) and African American (3.51%) students, the nearby schools, such as Adams School and Wilson School, generally perform better academically, with higher test scores and higher statewide rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just racial diversity may be contributing to the academic challenges at Ellis School, such as the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which ranges from 55.56% to 70.81% over the past few years.

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.
