Summary:

Glendale Middle is a public middle school in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving around 680 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Salt Lake District, which is ranked 54 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glendale Middle consistently performs below the state and district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly lower than the state and district. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Glendale Middle's proficiency rates ranged from 9.4% to 35.9%, while the state averages ranged from 35.6% to 56%. The school has been ranked in the bottom quarter of Utah middle schools for the past several years, with rankings ranging from 147 out of 172 schools in 2017-2018 to 194 out of 210 schools in 2023-2024. However, the school ranks highly for English Language Learner students, placing in the top 10-20% of Utah middle schools in recent years.

Glendale Middle's performance is notably lower than the nearby Hillside Middle and Clayton Middle, which consistently rank in the top 25% of Utah middle schools and have much higher proficiency rates on standardized tests. Glendale Middle's high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, ranging from 72.93% to 83.53% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to its lower academic performance. However, the school's strong performance for English Language Learners suggests that it is effectively supporting the needs of this 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.
