Summary:

Spring Canyon Middle is a public middle school located in Springville, Utah, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,086 students. The school is part of the Nebo School District, which is ranked 55 out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spring Canyon Middle outperforms the Nebo District and Utah state averages in several academic areas, including English Language Arts (ELA) and Science proficiency rates for 6th and 7th grades. The school also ranks highly among Utah middle schools for its performance with specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, White students, and students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. This consistent academic performance is noteworthy, as the school has maintained these strong outcomes even as the district and state averages have fluctuated.

While Spring Canyon Middle outperforms the district and state, it is important to note that the nearby schools, such as Maple Grove Middle and Springville Junior High, also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly in Science and Mathematics. The diversity of Spring Canyon Middle's student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby schools, is an interesting aspect of the school that may contribute to its academic success.

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.
