Q: Is Coral Canyon School a good school?

Coral Canyon School ranks 396 th of 561 Utah elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Coral Canyon School is an elementary school located in Washington, Utah, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 565. 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.

Despite being part of a moderately-ranked district, Coral Canyon School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics were significantly lower than the district and state averages, with a 28.4% proficiency rate in 3rd grade ELA, 33% in 4th grade ELA, and 35.3% in 3rd grade Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 50.44% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Coral Canyon School to other nearby schools in the Washington District, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For instance, Crimson View School, located just 7.27 miles away, consistently ranks in the top 5% of Utah elementary schools and has significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. Despite these challenges, Coral Canyon School has the potential to improve its academic performance and overall ranking by addressing the unique needs of its student population, particularly those from low-income backgrounds.

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.
