Old Mill School

Q: Is Old Mill School a good school?

Old Mill School ranks 384 th of 561 Utah elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Old Mill School is an elementary school in Tooele, Utah, serving around 650 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Tooele District, which is ranked 69 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past few years, Old Mill School's statewide ranking has declined, going from 222 out of 572 Utah elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 384 out of 561 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating.

Despite the school's declining ranking, Old Mill School generally outperforms the Tooele District and the state average in RISE test proficiency rates across grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, 50.5% of 3rd graders at Old Mill School were proficient in RISE Math, compared to 31.9% for the Tooele District and 49.1% for the state. Additionally, Old Mill School has a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (18.92% in 2022-2023) compared to some of the nearby schools, which have rates over 30%. However, the school has a higher student-teacher ratio (24.1 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 19.3 to 23.3 students per teacher.

Interestingly, some of the nearby schools, such as Rose Springs School and Stansbury Park School, have significantly higher proficiency rates, especially in math and science, despite being part of the same district. The nearby schools also have more diverse student populations, with higher percentages of Hispanic, African American, and other minority students. This suggests that factors beyond just the school district may contribute to student performance.

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.
