Tooele High's performance on standardized tests is a key area of concern, as the school consistently underperforms the state and district averages in proficiency rates for the Utah Aspire Plus assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, Tooele High's 10th grade proficiency rates were 32.1% in ELA, 17.3% in Math, and 27.7% in Science, compared to the state averages of 44.6%, 27.5%, and 33.8%, respectively. Additionally, the school's subgroups, such as White students and Special Education students, perform significantly worse than the school's overall performance, ranking 111th and 15th out of 19 Utah high schools, respectively, in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby schools in the Tooele District, such as Grantsville High, Tooele High significantly underperforms, with proficiency rates that are 20-30 percentage points lower. Tooele High's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 24.94% to 30.02% over the past three school years, may also indicate a need for additional funding and resources to support the school's improvement efforts.

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.
