Spring Creek School

Summary:

Spring Creek School is an elementary school in Provo, Utah, serving 456 students in grades PK-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.

While Spring Creek School has a higher per-student spending ($10,498 in 2018-2019) compared to some nearby schools, such as Wasatch School ($7,720) and Sunset View School ($8,647), its academic performance consistently underperforms compared to the Provo District and state averages in RISE test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 28.5% compared to the district's 50.1% and the state's 46.7%.

However, the strong performance of Spring Creek's low-income students, relative to other low-income students in the state, suggests that the school may be effectively supporting this subgroup, despite its overall low academic outcomes. Nearby schools like Provo Peaks School, which serve more affluent and less diverse student populations, significantly outperform Spring Creek School on academic measures, highlighting the importance of addressing the unique needs of Spring Creek's student population.

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.
