Uintah High

Summary:

Uintah High is a public high school located in Vernal, Utah, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,808 students. The school is part of the Uintah District, which is ranked 45 out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Uintah High consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for the Utah Aspire Plus assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for both 9th and 10th grades. In 2023-2024, Uintah High's 10th-grade proficiency rates were 54.3% in ELA, 43.5% in Math, and 43.9% in Science, compared to the state averages of 44.6%, 27.5%, and 33.8%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly strong in ELA, where it has ranked among the top 5 high schools in the state for Hispanic students for the past three school years. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, Uintah High has consistently ranked in the top 25-40% of Utah high schools for the performance of its low-socioeconomic status students.

The only nearby school in the same district is the Ashley Valley Education Center, which is a smaller school with only 287 students. Ashley Valley Education Center has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 43.55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, compared to 30.64% at Uintah High. However, the limited data available for Ashley Valley Education Center makes it difficult to draw any definitive conclusions about how the two schools compare in terms of academic performance or other key metrics.

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.
