Summary:

Hillcrest School is an elementary school located in Logan, Utah, serving 495 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Logan City School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hillcrest School stands out for its higher percentage of Hispanic students (34.95%) compared to the state average and nearby schools. While the school generally performs better than the Logan City District average in English Language Arts and Science, it lags behind in Mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, 50% of 5th graders at Hillcrest were proficient in ELA, compared to 47.1% for the district, but only 39.8% were proficient in Math, compared to 38.2% for the district. Additionally, Hillcrest has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 32.08% to 43.84% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Compared to the higher-performing schools in the Cache District, such as North Park School and River Heights School, Hillcrest School's performance is generally lower, with significantly higher test scores, lower free/reduced lunch rates, and higher statewide rankings. However, Hillcrest's lower student-teacher ratio of 20.2 in 2022-2023 compared to the nearby schools, which range from 19.5 to 23.3 students per teacher, could be a strength to build upon.

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.
