Uintah School

Summary:

Uintah School is an exceptional elementary school in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving students from kindergarten to 6th grade. With consistently high academic performance, Uintah School has been one of the top-ranked elementary schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Uintah School's academic excellence is evident across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 82.8% of 3rd-grade students at Uintah School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, significantly outperforming the Salt Lake District (44%) and the state of Utah (46.7%). The school's strong performance extends to mathematics and science as well. Uintah School's diverse student population, with 77.54% White, 10.87% Hispanic, 2.9% Asian, and 7.49% two or more races, suggests the school is providing equitable educational opportunities for students of all backgrounds.

While Uintah School's academic excellence is undisputed, the school's low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (8.94%) suggests it may serve a relatively affluent community. This raises questions about the accessibility and inclusiveness of the school for students from lower-income families, and whether the school is providing adequate support and resources for those students. Nonetheless, Uintah School's exceptional performance, particularly when compared to nearby schools like Hawthorne School and Indian Hills School, makes it a standout institution in the Salt Lake City area.

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.
