Maple Ridge School

Summary:

Maple Ridge School is an exemplary elementary school in Mapleton, Utah, serving 769 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Nebo School District. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 65.4% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 45.9% for the Nebo District and 46.7% for the state. This academic excellence is reflected in Maple Ridge School's 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it among the top elementary schools in Utah.

Maple Ridge School stands out for its low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 24 to 26.6 students per teacher over the past three years, lower than nearby schools like Larsen School and Cherry Creek School. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, between 10.47% and 12.27%, compared to higher rates at schools like Park School and Cherry Creek School.

While Maple Ridge School's academic performance is exceptional, its student population is less diverse than some nearby schools, with over 85% of students identifying as White. This contrasts with the more racially diverse student bodies at schools like Larsen School and Sage Creek School. The school's proximity to these diverse schools presents an opportunity for collaboration and the sharing of best practices to support students from all backgrounds.

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.
