Summary:
Ashley School is an elementary school located in Vernal, Utah, serving 517 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Uintah School District, which is ranked 45 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Ashley School has a diverse student population, with 74.85% White, 16.44% Hispanic, and 3.68% Native American students, its academic performance, as measured by RISE test scores, is generally lower than the Uintah District and Utah state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 32.4% of 3rd graders, 31.1% of 4th graders, and 39.5% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district averages of 41.9%, 44.4%, and 45.5%, respectively. This may be partly due to the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 58.22% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.
When comparing Ashley School to nearby schools in the Uintah District, such as Davis School and Maeser School, both of which outperform Ashley School in academic achievement, it becomes clear that factors such as lower spending per student ($8,352 in 2018-2019) and a higher student-teacher ratio (20.6 in 2022-2023) may be contributing to Ashley School's lower performance. Additionally, Ashley School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking of 432 out of 561 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
