Amelia Earhart School

Q: Is Amelia Earhart School a good school?

Amelia Earhart School ranks 368 th of 561 Utah elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Amelia Earhart School is a public elementary school in Provo, Utah, serving 419 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Provo District, which is ranked 39 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Amelia Earhart School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, typically in the 300s out of around 550-560 schools.

Amelia Earhart School faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a very high free/reduced lunch rate ranging from 47-59% over the past few years, much higher than the nearby Wasatch School (20-65%) and Cherry Hill School (20-65%). The school's test scores consistently underperform the Provo District and state averages, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points below the district and state levels across grade levels and subject areas.

When comparing Amelia Earhart to higher-performing nearby schools like Cherry Hill and Westmore in the Alpine District, the academic gaps are quite stark. Despite Amelia Earhart's smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 16.5, the school's inconsistent performance and lack of consistent, strong academic achievement across all grades is concerning and suggests opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help improve outcomes for the 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.
