Mapleton Junior High ranks 104 th of 210 Utah middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mapleton Junior High is a public middle school serving grades 7-9 in the Nebo School District in Mapleton, Utah, with a student population of 1,213. The school's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with some notable exceptions. For example, the school's 8th grade science proficiency rate of 59.5% was significantly higher than the Nebo District (50.5%) and Utah (49%) averages.

While Mapleton Junior High has relatively low free/reduced lunch rates compared to nearby schools, there are some areas for improvement. The school's White students and low socioeconomic status students have performed lower than the state average, ranking 113th and 83rd, respectively, out of Utah middle schools. In contrast, the school's Hispanic students have performed relatively well, ranking 44th out of 106 Utah middle schools.

Interestingly, Mapleton Junior High has a significantly higher percentage of White students (84.75%) compared to nearby schools like Centennial Middle (63.62%) and Dixon Middle (51.82%), which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, the school's spending per student is on the lower end compared to nearby schools, which may be a factor to consider given its relatively strong science proficiency rates.

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.
