Wasatch School

Summary:

Wasatch School is an elementary school in Ogden, Utah, serving students from kindergarten to 6th grade as part of the Ogden City School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its student racial makeup, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic students.

Wasatch School has shown a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from the top 15% of Utah elementary schools in 2020-2021 to the bottom 20% in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in RISE assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state and district averages, with some exceptions in certain grade levels. Compared to nearby schools like Shadow Valley and Polk, Wasatch School's performance is mixed, with some grades performing better and others performing worse.

Wasatch School's per-student spending of $9,420 in 2018-2019 is higher than the state average, but it is unclear how this funding is being utilized to support student learning. The school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated, with a relatively high ratio of 21.9 in 2022-2023 compared to the previous year. These factors, along with the school's demographic differences compared to nearby schools, suggest the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to address the declining academic performance and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.

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.
