Digital Education Center

Summary:

Digital Education Center is an alternative public virtual school located in Tooele, Utah, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 8,561 students. It is part of the Tooele District, which is ranked 72 out of 100 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Digital Education Center stands out as a high-performing virtual school in terms of test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, compared to the surrounding district and state. The school outperforms the Tooele District and the state of Utah in proficiency rates for RISE English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments across most grade levels. However, its extremely high student-teacher ratio of 621.7 in 2022-2023 is much higher than the typical public school ratio, suggesting a different instructional model or approach. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of White students (89.23%) compared to nearby Entheos Academy Kearns and Entheos Academy Magna, which tend to have more diverse student populations.

Interestingly, while Digital Education Center outperforms the district and state in most areas, its performance in 8th grade Math (25% proficient) is significantly lower than the Tooele District (38%) and state (38.2%) averages. Additionally, nearby alternative schools like Blue Peak High have a much lower student-teacher ratio of 6.2 and a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting different approaches and student populations compared to Digital Education Center.

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.
