Rose Park School

Summary:

Rose Park School is an elementary school in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving 294 students in grades PK-6. 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.

Rose Park School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Utah elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 7.3% of 3rd-grade students and 25.6% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 46.7% and 47.4%, respectively. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 88.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is much higher than the state and district averages.

While Rose Park School's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are comparable to or better than nearby schools, such as North Star School, Washington School, and Franklin School, these nearby schools generally perform better academically. This suggests that factors beyond funding and class size, such as curriculum, teacher quality, and student support services, may be more influential in driving the school's academic challenges.

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.
