Ashley School

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.

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.
