Grantsville Junior High consistently outperforms the Tooele District and the state of Utah in various RISE test subjects, particularly in Mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, 58.6% of 8th-grade students at Grantsville Junior High were proficient or better in RISE Mathematics, compared to 42.2% in the Tooele District and 39.1% statewide. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined from a high of 83 out of 172 schools in 2017-2018 to its current ranking of 114 out of 210 schools in 2023-2024, suggesting that other middle schools in Utah may be improving at a faster rate.

Compared to nearby Tooele Junior High and Clarke N. Johnsen Junior High, Grantsville Junior High has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school may not be as representative of the broader Tooele District population, which could impact resource allocation and educational opportunities.

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.
