Red Mountain School

Summary:

Red Mountain School is an elementary school located in Ivins, Utah, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 434 students. The school is part of the Washington District, which is ranked 35 out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Red Mountain School is part of the same district as nearby schools like Diamond Valley School and Santa Clara School, it consistently underperforms them in academic measures. Red Mountain School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science range from 26.6% to 50%, significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has been ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools for the past several years, receiving a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Red Mountain School, ranging from 45.88% to 62.47% over the past three years, suggests that the school serves a lower-income population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. Despite being part of the same district, Red Mountain School has not shown significant improvement in its statewide ranking or academic performance over the past several years, indicating that the school may face unique challenges that need to be addressed through targeted interventions and support.

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.

I have two children who attend this school right now. They are so happy and love their teachers.I have seen them increase academically for the last two years in a row. The PTO is awesome and work so hard to help the students and the teachers. The principal is very confident and focused. She wants whats best for these kids. Close Quote

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.
